THE EXCELLENCE OF SURAH BAQARAH The Shaytaan runs away from the house wherein Surah Baqarah is recited. Recite Surah Baqarah for its recitation is a source of blessings and its forsaking is a source of regret and only useless people are unable to recite it. Everything has a hump and the hump of the Qur'aan is Surah Baqarah. One who recites Surah Baqarah at night, the Shaytaan will not visit his home for three nights; and anyone who recites it in the day, the Shaytaan will not visit his home for three days. Whoever recites one letter of the Book of Allah, for him and one blessing is equal to tenfold the like thereof in its reward. I do not say that Alif Laam Meem is one letter, but' Alif is one letter, Laam is one letter and Meem is one letter. The Holy Qur'aan should be recited daily.
