In a hadith, it was mentioned that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) recommended to read Surah Muk every night before going to bed. By doing so, it is said that you would be protected from the torment in the grave.
Benefits of
Surah Mulk Recitation: This Fa’ani Dunya in which we live is the test
for all of us. We spend our lives, our deeds are recorded and presented in
front of Allah SWT on the day of judgement. The day where no one will care for
another soul when he will be answerable for his deeds. A light will come for us
and it will be the light of the Quran. The reciter of the Quran will gain
uncountable rewards.
Whoever
recites a letter of the Book of Allah will be credited with a good deed and a
good deed is multiplied into ten. I
do not say that [the word:] “Alif Lam Meem” is [counted
as] one letter. Rather, Alif is one
letter, Lam is one
letter and Meem is one
letter”
A Surah in
the Quran will also become our saviour on the day of judgement and that surah
is Surah Mulk. It is the Makki surah which means it was revealed before Hijrat
to Medina. The topics that have been discussed in this surah are the Greatness
and Sovereignty of Allah SWT and how He has created this world perfectly
without any flaw. He has created human beings and they have to walk on this
earth holding the rope of Allah SWT and we should be thankful to Him for every
blessing that He has bestowed upon us
WHAT
ARE THE BENEFITS OF RECITING SURAH MULK?
1- When to Read Surah Mulk
Prophet Muhammad PBUH has
guided us with his actions and sayings. He has advised us to read different
surahs on particular occasions and times. Similarly, Surah Mulk which is said
to save its reciter from the torment of the grave should be read at night after
Isha, before going to bed.
2- Benefits of Reading Surah
Mulk Every Night
The grave will be the eternal
home for a Muslim’s body. The darkness will hover over him from every side and
loneliness will be his only companion. He will be questioned in his grave about
the life that he had spent in Dunya and if he fails, the punishment of the
grave will await him. But the followers of the Quran and Sunnah will find a ray
of light inside their graves.
The reciter of the Blessed
Surah Mulk will be able to keep himself away from the darkness and torture of
the grave. The surah will provide him with a shade from all sorts of torments
and loneliness. Therefore, the Muslims are advised to read the Blessed Surah at
night with their heart.
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.)
3 – Surah Mulk Demands Salvation
from Allah
Salvation in Islam is
different from other religions. It can only be attained through submission to
one true God, Allah and His worship. Muslims are born with pure spirit and free
of sin but the corruption of this world indulges them in the state of evil.
When a Muslim dies, he needs prayers and his good deeds to help him reach the
gates of heaven. When he is a punctual reciter of Surah Mulk, it asks for
salvation from Allah SWT to save him from hellfire. It becomes his protector on
the day of judgement.
A companion of the Holy
Prophet had set up a tent on the ground. There was a grave underneath which he
was not aware of. He heard a voice from beneath reciting Surah Mulk until it
was finished so he moved his tent away. He shared the story with Prophet
Muhammad PBUH and upon hearing the incident he, the beloved Prophet (PBUH)
said,
This surah gives salvation from the torment of the grave.”
4 – Benefits of Reading Surah
Mulk Before Bed
Our Prophet Muhammad PBUH has
taught us ways to walk on the right path through some duas and surahs. There
are certain days and times when a Muslim is advised to read some surahs that
help him gain uncountable rewards and protect them. Surah Mulk is the surah,
when recited at night, helps a believer gain rewards and blessings, omits his
sins and raise his status in good deeds.
This surah was known as Ma’ani
(the preventive) in the times of Prophet Muhammad PBUH as it protects the
believers from hellfire and Jahannum.
Hazrat Jaabir ibn Abdullah
Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) mentioned that
The beloved Holy Prophet PBUH, his family and companions, never
slept without reciting Surah Alif Laam Meem Tanzeel (Surah Sajdah) and Surah
Tabaarak (Surah Al-Mulk).”
[Jami
At-Tirmidhi, Musnad Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal]
5 – Surah Mulk Benefits Hadith
Allah and His Messenger PBUH
have taught us the right ways to lead our lives and gain blessings. Walking on
deen requires effort and strong Imaan which eventually leads us to achieve our
goals, which is, attaining a place for ourselves in Jannah. For that matter, we
need to worship Allah alone, stay away from sins and recite Quran regularly.
Reciting Surah Mulk can become our saviour as it protects us from the
difficulties of this life and also the afterlife. It will argue for its reciter
to have a place in Paradise until he is taken out of hell and placed in heaven.
Hazrar Anis RA narrates that
the Messenger (PBUH) of Allah said,
“A Surah in the Quran disputes until its reader enters Paradise.” (Surah Mulk).
(At-Tabarani in Al-Awsat, Ibn
Mardaway and Al-Diyya)
6 – How Surah Mulk Intercedes
For Forgiveness
When the doors of Tawbah will
be closed and this Faani Dunya gets destructed, all of us will be presented in
front of Allah SWT with the book of our deeds. We will be in dire need of good
deeds. On that day, a small good or bad deed will change our destiny and decide
our final abode. Amidst the chaos and fear, Surah Mulk will come for the help
of its punctual reciter for his intercession (Sha’fah) until he gets a place in
paradise. We all need to recite the Quran regularly to save ourselves from the
fuming flames of Jahannum.
The Prophet Muhammad PBUH said
“Recite the Quran as it will intercede on the day of judgement
for its companions.”
(Muslim)
7 – Surah Mulk Benefits for
Deceased
The most dreadful question
that arises in a Muslim’s mind is about his time in the grave and akhira. We

us stay in Jahannum forever. For our help and guidance, we have our Holy Quran
which is a complete code of life. We should recite it regularly and remember
the important surahs. The surah which can save us from the torment of the grave
is Surah Mulk. If a Muslim dies and he used to recite the surah punctually, it
will save him from every side of his body. Here are some more Things Every Muslim Must Know About Death.
