The Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said,
‘Recite Surah al Kafirun and then go to sleep after coming to its end, for it is a clearance from shirk’. (Abu Dawood)
If recited on a treasure, it will always remain safe. If a person has many creditors, recitation of this Surah will help clear his all the debts. If recited by a person in fear, this Surah brings him to safety and relief; if recited by a hungry person, it helps in his finding food; if recited by a thirsty person, his thirst will be quenched.
The verses of the Surah show that at the time of its revelation, Muslims were in a very minority (less quantity) and disbelievers were in the majority, of whom the Holy Prophet (P.B.H.U) was under pressure. They urged him to interact with them, but, he refused all of them and while not having any conflict with them, created them utterly hopeless.
This is a perfect & honest example for all Muslims that under no conditions and agreements should they interact with the enemies of Islam against the idea of the faith and against religion; and if it happens that disbelievers raise them to follow such suggestions, they ought to create them whole hopeless, again and again.
