last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah directly from Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ on the night of Mi’raaj; similarly he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم heard some verses from Surah Ad-Duha and some from Surah Alam Nashrah on the night of Mi’raaj. (Tafseer Ruh-ul-Bayan, Surah Ash-Shura, vol. 8, pp. 345)

O lovers of Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Let’s listen to the excellence of the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, that our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم heard directly from Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in attaining special closeness on the night of Mi’raaj. We too should recite them from time to time.

Sayyiduna Nu’man Bin Basheer رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Noble Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘Two thousand years before the creation of the earth and the skies, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ ‘’wrote’’ a book, and then from this, He عَزَّوَجَلَّ revealed the last verses of Surah Al-Baqarah. Satan will not come close to the home in which these two verses will be recited for three nights.’

(Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 4, pp. 404, Hadees 2891)

Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ood رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Prophet of Rahmah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘Whosever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah at night, these will be enough for him.’

(Sahih Bukhari, pp. 405, vol. 3, Hadees 5009)

Dear Islamic brothers! These two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah are sufficient in being equal to spending the night in worship or these will protect him from Satan during that night. According to one reference, they will protect him from calamities which might descend during that night. وَاللّٰهُ تَعَالٰي اَعۡلَمُ

(Fath-ul-Baari, vol. 10, pp. 48)

Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: (The last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah) are sufficient in times of troubles and grief because the person who recites them (at night) will stay out of troubles and by chance if troubles do come, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ removes them, or it is better than to recite all Salats and
