Prophet Peace Prophet Peace Reward for Reading the Qur’aan in Translation

Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid

Asalamu-Alaikum, This is in regards to Question 2237 'Reading Soorat Yaa-Seen in congregation on Friday nights'. Actually I am referring to the hadeeth you mentioned where The Prophet [peace be upon him] said: “Whoever reads one letter of the Book of Allaah will have one hasanah [reward] for doing so, and every hasanah will be multiplied by 10. I do not say that ‘Alif, laam, meem’ is one letter, but ‘Alif’ is a letter, ‘laam’ is a letter and ‘meem’ is a letter.’” I was wonderring if this hadith was also true if one is reading the Qur'an in a different language [i.e. English Translation] in order to actually understand what he is reading? Thank You, Allahu-Akbar

Virtues of Quraan Virtues of Quraan the Virtues of Soorat Al-ikhlaas, Etc.

Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid

I have been practicing Islam for some time now and I am still in the process of learning. A Muslim friend of mine gave me a book on Duas and in this book the author tells you exactly which surahs and duas to say after each salaat.

The problem I have is that some of the surahs which he mentions, I never heard of before and I think that maybe they have other names.

There are also verses from the Quran that has to be said but are in Arabic. I hope that you will be able to help me as I am anxious to know exactly what surahs and duas they are: 1. Surah ALHAMDU 2. Surah INNAFATAHNA 3. Dalailul Khrirat [one part] 4. ALLAHUS SAMAD [Is this one of Allah's 99 names that has to be recited 500 times or is it a name of a dua?] 5. Surah AMMA YATASA ALOON 6. Ayat Karimah, i.e. Lailaha illa anta Subhanaka inna Kunto minazzalimeen 100 times [Please give it to me in English and tell me which surah it's from?]
