Question:
The questioner says: I know that Surat al-Ikhlas equals one-third of the Qur'an, but I heard from one person that reading the surah three times does not equal reading the entire Qur'an. What is the correct view, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
It does not equal reading the entire Qur'an, but it equals it in reward only; it equals it in reward only. Whoever reads the Qur'an in its entirety, including Surat al-Ikhlas, receives the reward for reading Surat al-Ikhlas and the reward for reciting the whole Qur'an. As for whoever limits himself to reading only Surat al-Ikhlas, he receives only the reward for reading Surat al-Ikhlas and does not receive the reward for reciting the entire Qur'an. Yes.
