Easiest way to Memorize Last 3 Ayahs of Surah-Al-Baqarah 284 - 286 | LIVE Arabic with Translation
- 3 years ago
The last 2 ayats of Surah Baqarah are very short verses with extensive rewards according to hadith.
Anyone who knew the benefits wouldn’t go to sleep before having recited these two verses. For this reason, we should make a special effort to memorize these verses by heart, and to share this knowledge with friends and family members.
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:
“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was taken on the Night Journey (Lailat al Miraj), he came to Sidrah Al-Muntaha, which is in the sixth heaven. That is where everything that comes up from below ends, and where everything that comes down from above, until it is taken from it. Allah says: When what covered the lote-tree did cover it! He said: “It was moths of gold. And I was given three things: The five daily prayers, the last verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, and whoever of my Ummah dies without associating anything with Allah will be forgiven for Al-Muqhimat.” The sins of the worst magnitude that drag one into the Fire.” (An-Nihayah)
This is from Sunan an-Nasa’i hadith 451 and classified as Sahih by Darussalam.
Abd al-Rahman b. Yazid said:
I asked Abu Mas’ud while he was making circumambulation of the Ka’bah (about the recitation of some verses from the Qur’an). He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If anyone recited two verses from the last of Surah al-Baqarah at night, they will be sufficient for him.
From Sunan Abi Dawud hadith 1397 graded as Sahih by Al-Albani.
“The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say,) “We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers ـ and they say, “We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).”(286)
Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. “Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us; our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Mawla (Patron, Supporter and Protector) and give us victory over the disbelieving people.” (Quran 2: 285-6)
*** Protection at Night
In a hadith narrated by Abu Mas’ud, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If somebody recited the last two Verses of Surat Al-Baqara at night, that will be sufficient for him.” (Bukhari)
*** Source of Goodness/Light
Like I said earlier, all verses in the Qur’an are special, and with purpose. But when it comes to the last two verses of Surah Baqarah, there is a special honor that is different from all other Surahs, except Al-Fatiha.
