Benefits of Reciting Ahad Nama
Those who had recited Ahad Nama in their lives. The angels will keep a record of that and seal it and keep safe until The Judgment Day. It has been referenced from Imam Hakeem Tirmeezi (Radi ALLAHU Anhu), says: Ahad Naamah has been written on the shroud of Imam Tawus (Radi ALLAHU Anhu) as he mentioned for this in his will. You will know everything about the importance, benefits of reciting Ahad Nama, and its virtues after reading this.
As far as my knowledge is concerned, I have not seen any authenticated Hadith references to know the benefits of reciting Ahad Nama in Islam. There are so many texts I have found regarding the recitation of Ahad Nama and its benefits. Read How to Pray Salat Tauba-Salatul Taubah Ki Namaz Ka Tarika here.
Whereas, no genuine and authenticated references have been cited to confirm its truth. Though, if you can recite this with the aim of praising ALLAH Subhanahu Wata ‘Ala, ALLAH will surely listen to your urge.
This has been confirmed by Islamic scholars. There is no bidah in the recitation of Ahad Nama and to get benefits through it. To read the benefits of ahad nama in details please scroll to the end of this post.
Ahad Nama ka Matlab
‘Ahad ka matlab ‘yakta’ yani ek se hai. Aur nama ka matlab farman/Aetraf se hai. Banda ye iqrar karta hai ke ALLAH ek (yakta) hai.
What is Ahad Nama?
Ahad Nama has its own great literal meaning.
Avow means asserted, admitted. Therefore, Ahad Nama is The Letter of Avow that ALLAH is Only One!
Ahad Naamah means to The Letter of Avow, affirmation, or an acceptance. Elaboratively, the one who accepts:
The Oneness of ALLAH,
ALLAH is The Only God,
Prophet Mu’hammad (Peace Be Upon Him) is The Messenger of ALLAH
Refrain the slaves to remain away from the evils until The Judgment Day.
Keeping the slaves in His mercy until The Judgment Day.
Should You Recite Ahad Nama?
Yes, why not?
There is nothing wrong with the recitation of Ahad Nama. Instead, from few unauthenticated references (discussed further) it has been proved that if one recites Ahad Nama he will earn rewards in the afterlife too.
As it has a lot of virtues and benefits. There are a number of rewards that a reciter can earn. One can also convey the rewards to the deceased and to Our Prophet Mu’hammad SallALLAHU ‘Alayhe Wasallam

Benefits and blessings of Ahad Nama
عہد نامہ کےفوائد اور برکات
حضرت ابنِ مسعود رضی اللہ عنہا سے مروی ہےکہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ایک روز اپنے اصحاب سے فرمایا کیا تم اس بات سے عاجز ہوکہ صبح و شام اللہ تعالٰی سے عہد کرلیا کرو ؟ عرض کیا گیا کیسے ؟ فرمایا جو صبح و شام اس عہدنامہ کو پڑھے گا ایک فرشتہ اس پر مہر لگا کر عرش معلٰے کے نیچے رکھ دے گا اور بروزِ قیامت منادی ندا کرے گا وہ لوگ کہاں ہیں جن کے لیے اللہ کے پاس عہد ہے تو وہ جنت میں داخل ہوں گے
(تفسیر کبیر)
اس کے پڑھنے سے ہر قسم کی جائز حاجات پوری ہوںگی اور ہر مرض اور ہر مصیبت سے نجات ملے گی ایمان تازہ اور کامل ہوگا
اور کسی میت کے قبر میں رکھنا بھی جائز ہے امید ہے کے اللہ تعالٰی اس میت کو بخش دے اور عذابِ قبر سے مامون فرمائے
