Benefits of reciting Surah Al Mulk at night
1 min read
The Holy Quran is divided into 114 chapters, or surahs. Every chapter of the Quran has its own set of blessings and benefits. Surah Al-Mulk, the 67th chapter of the Quran, is one of these beautiful surahs. Al-Mulk is Arabic for “The Kingdom.”
It is a Makkan surah with 30 verses in the Quran’s 29th Juz. This surah is primarily concerned with proclaiming Allah’s (SWT) Oneness (Tauheed) and increasing believers’ faith.
Here are some of the benefits of reciting Surah Al-Mulk
Protection in the grave
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him) said, “It is a protector; a rescuer; saving from the chastisement of the grave.” (At-Tirmidhi and Al-Hakim.)
It intercedes for you
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him narrates that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him) said, “There is a Surah in the book of Allah it is but thirty passages which intercedes for a man on the day of judgement so that he taken out of the fire and entered into paradise; it is Surah the Blessed.” (Abu Dawud 1400, At-Tirmidhi 2891 and Ibn Majah 3876.)
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him) said, “Recite the Quran as it will intercede on the day of judgement for its companions.” (Muslim)
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bestow peace and blessings upon him) said, “I have found in the book of Allah a Surah thirty passages long; whoever reads it when he sleeps thirty good deeds are written for him; thirty wrong actions are omitted and he is raised thirty degrees. Allah sends an angel to spread his wings over him and protect him from everything until he wakes up. It is the disputer who argues for it reader in the grave and it is Tabarak alldhi biyadihi l-Mulku.” (Sura Mulk) (Ad-Daylami).
It protects you while you sleep, which is critical because you are unable to defend yourself at that time, but an angel appears to guard you because you read it.
