What are the seven saviors?
The term "The Seven Deliverers" or "The Seven Delivering Verses" refers to seven surahs or seven verses from the Quran, a terminology that has no basis in Islamic law. The entire Quran is a healing, a guidance, and a deliverance. The Permanent Committee for Issuing Fatwas has denied the designation of these surahs as "deliverers," considering it ignorance and an innovation (bid'ah). They emphasized that collecting and arranging them in this manner contradicts the order of the Uthmanic Mus'haf. Therefore, the distribution of such copies must be prevented. Furthermore, Sheikh Bakr Abu Zayd mentioned that describing these surahs as "deliverers" has no basis, and it is impermissible to specify them for recitation without legal evidence.
