Now He revealed to His bondsman whatever He revealed.

[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 27, Surah Al Najm, verse 10)

It is mentioned in the books of Tafaseer that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم heard the verses of اٰمَنَ الرَّسُولُ which are the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah directly from Allah Almighty on the Night of Me’raj; similarly he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم heard some verses from Surah Ad-Duha and some from Surah Alam Nashrah on the night of Me’raj.^[1]

O devotees of the Prophet! Let’s listen to the excellence of the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, that our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم heard directly from Allah Almighty in close proximity on the Night of Me’raj. We too should recite them from time to time.

Sayyiduna Nu’man Bin Basheer رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Final Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘Two thousand years before the creation of the earth and the skies, Allah Almighty wrote a book, and then from this, He Almighty 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.’^[2]

 Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ood رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘Whosoever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah at night, they will suffice him.’^[3]

Dear Islamic brothers! What is meant by these two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah being sufficient is that they will become equivalent to spending the entire night in worship or they will protect him from Satan during that night. According to one opinion, they will protect him from calamities which will descend during that night.^[4]
