Question:
Is it true that whoever recites Surat al-Waqi'ah every night will not be afflicted with poverty or need?

Answer:
Yes. It is reported regarding Surat al-Waqi'ah, and virtues of its recitation are mentioned. The scholars of fame mentioned them. Imam Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned them at the beginning of the commentary on Surat al-Waqi'ah. This is a great surah that contains great and noble meanings. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) mentioned in it the two Resurrections: the Great Resurrection at its beginning, and the Minor Resurrection at its end. He (Mighty and Majestic) explained the division of people at the Great Resurrection and the division of people at the Minor Resurrection. He mentioned in it great verses indicating His oneness, His power, and His making worship obligatory. He also affirmed in it the resurrection, the Reckoning, and refuted the deniers of that. So it is undoubtedly a great surah. Evidence has been reported regarding its recitation, or rather, evidence regarding the virtue of its recitation, which collectively indicates that this surah is forbidden to be neglected in its recitation, and there is reward from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in it.
