Answered by Shaykh Ilyas Patel
I was wondering if possibly you could enlighten me as to which Suras one should read daily and their benefits? For example, I have heard one should read Sura Yasin after Fajr, Sura Waqiah after Mughrib, and Sura Mulk after Isha. Are there any other suras that are highly recommended to read daily or weekly? I would appreciate it greatly if you could let me know
Assalamu alaikum,
On the authority of Abu Sa’id al-Khudari (Allah be pleased with him) that he heard a man reciting and repeating Qul huwallahu Ahad’. When it was morning this man went to the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) and mentioned this to him. This man was assuming that it had very little reward. The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, I swear in whose hand is my soul, indeed it is equivalent of one-thirds of the Qur’an.’ (Bukhari)
On the authority of Anas (Allah be pleased with him) that a man said to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), O’ Messenger of Allah, I love this sura; Qul Huwallahu Ahad.’ The Prophet replied, surely your love for the surah has entered you into Paradise.’ (Bukhari, Tirmidhi)
On the authority of Abu Sa’id al-Khudari (Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) that whoever recites the last two verses of Sura-al-Baqara in the night, it will suffice him from the offensive during of the night.’ It has also been said, it will suffice him from Qiyam al-Layl (Night Prayer). (Bukhari and Muslim)
On the authority of Abu Darda (Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said whoever memorizes ten verses of the beginning of Sura al-Kahf, he will be protected from DAJJAL.’ In another narration it has been reported that the last of Sura al-Kahf.
