Benefits of ‘Lohe Quranic’
Question
I have read many articles on the net about benefits of Lohe Quranic, does it have benefits? Does looking at it solve all difficulties ? Does looking at it cure sickness and diseases ? Does looking at it protect us from blackmagic and jinns ?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Lohe Qurani are the huroof-e-muqatta’ah which are the alphabets in the beginning of the surahs of the Quran, for example: الم، الر، المص، etc.
The benefits of reading or keeping the huroof-e-muqatta’ah are tried and tested. There is no mention of that in hadith. One may follow what is proven to be beneficial.
However, when one faces challenges in life, it is best to adopt the recommendations of Shari’ah. Perform two rakats of salat al-haajah, the procedure of which can be viewed over here: http://askimam.org/public/question_detail/19513. Also, engage in lots of dua.
Even charity is known to remove difficulties and hardships.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
