Surah Kausar: 108th Surah | Meaning & Benefits

Surah Kausar is the 108th Surah of the Holy Quran which means great abundance in English, and It’s also the shortest Surah of the Quran with 3 Ayat.

It was revealed on the Prophet Mohammad (ﷺ) in the Mecca Sharif when the enemies of the Prophet (ﷺ) started calling Him Abtar as an insult.

In that era, the Arabs called Abtar to a person when someone’s son dies and is left with no son, without posterity or whose descendant is severed.

The son of the Prophet (ﷺ) Hazrat Qasim (RA) passed away in childhood and enemies of the Prophet started calling Abtar especially Aas bin Wail.

Allah descended Surah Kausar in the dignity of the Prophet Mohammad (ﷺ) in which the last Ayat answered “It’s your enemy who is without posterity”

Surah Kausar Meaning

We asked Ya Rasoolallah (ﷺ) what is the reason behind you smile, the Prophet said right now one Surah is revealed on me and the Prophet recited it with Bismillah.

And said do you know what is Kausar, onto which we said Allah and His Rasool know better than the Prophet said It’s a river of Paradise (Jannat).

It’s a river of which my Lord has promised me, in which there is much welfare, and Its Hauz on which my Ummah will come to drink water.

The drinking vessels will be like in the number of stars, the angels will remove few people from the Hauz onto which I will say my Lord It’s my Ummah.
