Spiritual and Emotional Benefits Protection from Shaytan: Regular recitation is thought to provide a safeguard from the deceptions and influence of Satan. Cultivating Gratitude and Contentment: The Surah repeatedly directs the believer's focus to the countless blessings of Allah in nature and daily life, acting as a "divine therapy" against discontent, anxiety, and a poverty mindset. Strengthening Faith (Tawheed): It builds a strong foundation of belief in the Oneness of Allah by highlighting divine wisdom and artistry in the natural world, from livestock to the miracle of honey.
