3 Surah

The Prophet Muhammad(Peace Be Upon Him) said:

“Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah will receive a hasanah (good deed)
from it, and the hasanah is multiplied by ten.I do not say that Alif-Laam-Meem
is a letter , rather Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter.”

(At-Tirmidhi).

May ALLAH bless us all!
