BENEFITS OF RECITING SURAH AL-BAQARAH

The highest point in the Qur'an is Surah Al-Baqarah.
The following is reported by Ma'qil ibn Yasar رضي الله عنه as saying that the Messenger of Allah ٷ said:

“Al-Baqarah is the peak of the Qur’an and its pinnacle. With every verse, 80000 Angels came down. Ayah al-Kursi (the Verse of the Throne) was extracted from a treasure under the Throne and then joined with Surah al-Baqarah”.

“Ya Sin is the heart of the Qur’an. No person reads it seeking Allah and the abode of the Hereafter except that they will be forgiven. Recite it over your deceased.” (Ahmad, 20300)

SURAH AL-BAQARAH FIGHTS THE DEVILS LIKE A FORTRESS.

Based on the testimony of Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه, Muslim related that the Messenger of Allah ٷ said,

“Do not make your houses into graveyards (i.e., illuminate them with prayer and the Qur’an), because the devils do not enter the house in which Surah al-Baqarah is recited.” (Muslim, 780)

The following is reported by Sahl ibn Sad رضي الله عنه as saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Indeed, everything has a peak, and the peak of the Qur’an is al-Baqarah. Whoever recites it in their house at night, the devil will not enter it for three nights. And whoever recites it in their house during the day, the devil will not enter it for three days.” (Ibn Hibban, 780; Tabarani in al-Mu’jam al-Kabir, 5864)
