I have seen a compilation of certain selected Ayats from the Qur’an, published in a book titled “Manzil”. Please explain if it’s proper to do so.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

If so, why these Ayats were the only one’s selected, and when and by whom this was done. Some regard this as Bidah.

Answer

The Manzil is compiled by a renowned Muhaddith, Shaykhul Hadith Mawlana
Muhammad Zakariyyah (RA). Such compilations of Du’aas, etc. have also been
compiled by many Ulama in the past, for example, Hizbul A’zam by Mullah Ali
Qari (RA)

The purpose of such compilations to make available to the general Muslims
effective Du’aas and Dhikrs for their daily lives. The Qur’aan and Ahaadith
are replete with orders and encouragements to make Du’aa and Dhikr. The
compilation of the Manzil may be used to fulfil this injunction. It is not
necessary to read the Manzil, therefore, it is incorrect to state that the
reading or reciting of the Manzil is Bid’at.

We wish to advise that the Manzil has proven very effective in removing
black magic and evils from one’s home. We, therefore, strongly encourage
reading the Manzil everyday.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
