* It is from the threshold of the Arsh(Throne).

* It is equal to a quarter of the Qur'an(in reward).

* Whoever recites after the Fard of every salaah will be protected until the next salaah and reciting it constantly was done by the Nabi, Siddique or martyr and only death is the barrier between the reader and Jannah(Paradise).
