2. It's the equivalent of reading the whole Quran 10 times.

8. It wipes out your sins, alleviates hunger, and guides the lost.

When one reads it while addressing the fact that that their food will run short, that food will then become sufficient. If one reads it while beside someone who is in the throes of death, then that process is made more smoothly for them. If anyone reads it on a woman who is experiencing difficulty in childbirth, her delivery will then become easy. ”
