Surah Dhariyat

Surah Dhariyat is chapter 51 of Holy Quran.

There are 60 ayaat in this Surah and it was revealed in Makkah. In the commentary of Majma’ul Bayan it is narrated from the Holy Prophet (S) that the reward for reciting this Surah is ten times the number of moving winds or breezes.

Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) has said that recitation of this Surah increases ones sustenance and makes it easy to earn. Drinking water in which this Surah was dissolved after being written acts as a remedy for back problems (e.g. backaches). If a pregnant woman wears a talisman of Surah ad-Dhariyaat, her pregnancy and delivery will be easy. Keeping this Surah close to a dying person makes his death easy.
