SURAH AL-BURUJ (THE MANSION OF STARS)
This ‘Makki’ surah has 22 verses. It is narrated from the Holy Prophet (S) that the one who recites this surah will be near the Prophets and Messengers on the Day of Judgement. The reward for reciting this surah is ten times the number of people who gather on the plains of Arafah.
Reciting this surah saves one from dangers and if recited before sleeping, one is kept under the protection of Allah (s.w.t) for the whole night. When trying to wean a baby (stop it from breastfeeding and start eating solid foods), this surah should be written and tied as a taweez around the baby’s neck.
