Which Surah of the Quran ends with a prayer?

Explanation

Surah Al-Baqarah, the longest chapter of the Quran, concludes with two powerful verses (285-286) that contain a comprehensive prayer. In these verses, believers affirm their faith in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers, and then humbly ask Allah not to burden them beyond their capacity, to forgive their sins, and to have mercy upon them. These concluding verses are highly significant and are often recited for protection and blessings, especially before sleeping.

Good to know

The last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah (Amanar-Rasulu) were gifted to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during the Night of Meraj. According to a hadith in Sahih Muslim, whoever recites these two verses at night, they will be sufficient for him. Surah Al-Baqarah is a Madinan Surah with 286 verses, and it is also known as the peak of the Quran along with Surah Aal-e-Imran.
