Surah Saad was revealed in Makkah and it has 88 verses. The name, which is one of the Qur’anic abbreviated letters, is taken from its first verse. Similar to Surah As-Saffat, the verses of this Surah are about the continuation of the current of prophethood during the length of history and the opposition of the polytheists and pagans against the belief of Unity and Resurrection.

In Surah As-Saffat, the names of some Divine prophets such as: Noah, Abraham, Lot, Moses, Aaron, Elyas (Elija) and Yunus were mentioned. Here, this Surah mostly refers to the life history of David, Solomon, and ’Ayyub (Job).

The ending part of this holy Surah refers to the event of the creation of man, the angels’ prostration unto Adam and the disobedience of Satan in order that the believers recognize the innate greatness of man with Allah and that they avoid following Satan.

Surah Saad Benefits

Our Beloved Imam Imam Baqir (razi allahu anhu) said: “Whoever recites Sura Saad in the night before Friday will be given good rewards of the world and the Hereafter (by Allah) as much that have not been given to anyone of the people save the Divine prophets and the near-stationed angels, and Allah admits him and all those he loves from among his household in Paradise, even the servant who served him.”
Whoever recites Surat Saad , would get heavenly reward equal to ten times the weight of the mountain Allah made subservient to Prophet Dawud (A.S.); and would be kept safe from committing minor and major sins.
If Surah Saad is written on paper and kept under the seat of a judge or an officer, that judge or officer would not remain in office for more than 3 days; his misdeeds would be found out and he would be dismissed.
