4 Quls- Importance and Benefits of four Quls in Islam

In Islam, the four quls of the Quran are of great importance. They provide many benefits for Muslims.

What are the four Quls?

The four Quls in Quran are al-Qadr, al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq and an-Nas. These Quls are very important and beneficial for Muslims. 

        i.            Surah Al-Kafiroun:

Al-Kafiroun is the most important of the four Quls because it is the night of destiny when the gates of heaven will be opened to Muslims and meet Allah. 

“Say O Al-Kafiroun (disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness, in His Angels, in His Books, in His Messengers, in the Day of Resurrection, and Al-Qadar, etc.)! I worship not that which you worship, nor will you worship that which I worship. And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping. Nor will you worship that which I worship. To you be your religion, and to me, my religion (Islamic Monotheism). “

      ii.            Surah Al-Ikhlas:

Al-Ikhlas is the most virtuous of all the Quls because it teaches Muslims how to love one another and respect each other. 

“Say: He is Allah, (the) One, Allahus-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks). He begets not, nor was He begotten; And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him.”

    iii.            Surah Al-Falaq:

Al-Falaq teaches Muslims how to repent for their sins and ask forgiveness from Allah. 

” Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of the daybreak, From the evil of what He has created; And from the evil of the darkening (night) as it comes with its darkness; (or the moon as it sets or goes away). And from the evil of the witchcrafts when they blow in the knots, the evil of the envier when he envies. “

    iv.            Surah An-Nas:

An-Nas teaches Muslims how to give charity and perform other good deeds during this period.

“Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the lord of mankind, The King of mankind, The Ilah ( God ) of mankind, From the evil of the whisperer ( devil who whispers evil in the hearts of men), who withdraws ( from his whispering in one’s heart after one remembers Allah ), Who whispers in the breasts of mankind, Of jinn’s and men.”

The rewards of reciting the four Quls:

Many rewards are associated with reciting the four Quls, both spiritual and temporal. The first reward is that it will please Allah. The second is that it will help you to memorize the Quran. The third is that it will help you to be pious and righteous. Finally, the fourth reward is that it will protect you from the Shaitan.

Conclusion:

The Four Quls are concise yet powerful prayers that we as Muslims should recite more often. Their weight is pretty heavy and can generate significant rewards that we can benefit from on the day of judgment.
