Every Surah in the Quran has major advantages. The reading of Surah Kausar is also linked with several rites and advantages. A person who recites Surah Kausar on a regular basis will undoubtedly get benefits on the Day of Resurrection.

Let’s know more about the shortest Surah of the Quran and the benefits that are associated with it.

What Is The Meaning Of Surah Kausar?

The idea of spiritual wealth via dedication and sacrifice is summed up in Surah Kausar.

This Surah is first and foremost addressed to Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), and then to the rest of the Muslims via him.

Al-Kawthar means abundance in Arabic, and it is also the name of a river in Jannah that Allah (SWT) has given Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and from which the faithful shall drink on the Day of Resurrection (Yawm Al-Qiyamah).

“Verily, we have blessed You with Al Kausar”

(Surah al Kausar)

kawthar, as applied to believers, represents the ability to gain knowledge, conduct good work, be kind to all beings,

and so achieve dignity and inner peace.

kawthar can alternatively be translated as Cistern. This Cistern will be placed at the location where the ummah of Muhammad (PBUH) would congregate on the Day of Resurrection. The water for this cistern will be drawn from the river of Al-Kawthar in Jannah.

Anas (May Allah Be Pleased With Him) said that the Prophet (PBUH) was asked about Al-Kawthar and he said: 

“That is a river which Allah SWT has given to me, in Jannah. It is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey,

and in it are birds whose necks are like the necks of camels.”

Why Was Surah Kausar Revealed?

Despite the fact that it is a brief surah, its meaning and message are enormous in importance and hope.

This Surah was revealed during a particularly difficult period in the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

because it was during this period that the prophet’s enemies referred to him as Abtar, which means “cut off,”

because both of his male children from his wife Khadija (May Allah Be Pleased With Her) had died. 

This was also the time when the Muslims were few in numbers and weak compared to the enemies of Islam.

Allah SWT revealed this surah to tell prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that He granted him a river in Jannah,

then told him that his enemies are the cut-off ones.

Anas (May Allah Be Pleased With Him) once narrated the incident in which the surah was revealed while the Holy Prophet was among them. 

“In the meantime, He dozed; then He raised His head, smiling, according to some traditions,

the people asked what for He was smiling, according to others, He Himself told them that a Surah had just been revealed to Him.

Then, he recited surah kosar; then he asked the people whether they knew what Kausar was.

When they said that Allah and His Messenger had the best knowledge,

He said; It is a river which my Lord has granted me in Paradise.” 

(Muslim)

Surah Kausar is the 108th chapter in the holy Quran. It falls in the 30th and last para (Juz) of the Quran.

It is the shortest of the Quran Kareem, with only three verses. This is one of the most popular surahs since almost every Muslim knows it by heart.

How Many Words Are In Surah Kausar?

Surah Kausar has 10 words. It has only 3 ayat and each ayah consists of 3 words except for the last one which consists of 4 words.

No wonder it’s regarded as the shortest Surah of the whole Quran Kareem. The Surah goes like this:

 

إِنَّاۤ أَعۡطَیۡنَـٰكَ ٱلۡكَوۡثَرَ ۝‎

فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَٱنۡحَرۡ ۝‎

إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ ٱلۡأَبۡتَرُ ۝‎

How Many Letters Are In Surah Kausar?

Surah Kausar has 42 letters. It’s the shortest Surah in the Quran, however, you can take about 420 good deeds (hasanah) by reading it once. How?

Since reading one letter of the Quran is given one Hasanah, reading 42 letters gives 42 ones and each hasanah is multiplied by ten.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the one who taught us these thousands of years ago:

“Whoever recites a letter of the Book of Allah will be credited with a good deed and a good deed is multiplied into ten. I do not say that [the word:] “Alif Lam Meem” is counted as one letter. Rather, Alif is one letter, Lam is one letter and Meem is one letter” 

(At-Tirmidhi)
