Surahs to Pray at Night: al Mulk, al Waqi’ah; Ya Sin
Young girls at our weekend Islamic School started to learn Surah al Mulk (Dominion). The teacher shared that this Surah should be said each night and acts as a protection from grave; so I had to learn more…
Additionally, hubby had our 7 year old start learning my favorite Surah Ya Sin.
I found the Benefits of Yasin, al Waqiah, and al Mulk is desribed here.
Some highlighted ahadeeth specific to recommending these 3 Surahs read at night include:
Surah al Mulk
11. The Prophet said, ‘Surah al Mulk is the protector from the torment of the grave ‘[Sahihul Jamiea 1/680, Hakim 2/498 & Nasai]
12. Jabir (radiAllahu anhu) said it was the custom of the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam not to go to sleep until he had read Tabarakalladhi Biyadihil Mulk and Alif Laam Meem Tanzeel. [Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Darami]
8. The Prophet said, ‘Whoever recites surah al Waqiah at night would never encounter poverty’ [Ibn Sunni 620]
Surah Ya Sin (at night and during the day):
4. The Prophet said, ‘Whoever recited Surah Yasin in the night seeking Allah’s pleasure, Allah would forgive him’[Ibn Hibban, Darimi 3283/A, Abu Yala, Tabarani, Baihaqi & Ibn Mardawaih]The Hadith mentioned by ‘Ataa bin Abi Rabaah (R.A.) states that the Prophet (S.A.W.) said: “Whosoever recites Surah Yasin in the early part of the day his needs will be fulfilled.” (Mishkaat, Page 189)
It is stated in Mirqaat, Sharah Mishkaat under the commentary of the above Hadith that ones worldly needs and the needs pertaining to the Deen and the Hereafter will be fulfilled. (Mirqaat, Sharah Mishkaat, Vol. 4, Page 681)
Alhumdulilah, I’ve found great peace and content by reading these conveniently after Ishaa during Sunna, Nafl & Witr prayer.
Additionally, recommended reading at night includes: Ayat al Kursi & the last 2 ayats in Surah al Baqarah. Insha’allah, I will follow-up with the appropriate ahadeeth.
Tis’ballah khir.
