Other recitations are also recommended, for example, it is said in a narration that whoever recites surah atTawheed after prayers will wed a Hur-ul-Ein in Jannah. It is recommended that surah at-Tawheed be

In Conclusion...
It would be right to argue that the material presented in this book is in no way exhaustive. There is much
more benefit in the recitation of the Holy Qur'an than can be imagined or perceived. What you have read is
just a drop in the ocean, but it should be enough to convince anyone to read Qur'an more regularly and try
to ponder over it.
In conclusion, we all pray to Allah (s.w.t.) to make our hearts attached to the Holy Qur'an and make us able
to understand its teachings and guidance.
