Question:
May Allah reward you with good. What are the surahs that are preferred in the prayers, especially in the night prayer? I do not memorize the long surahs. Also, sometimes I read directly from the mushaf, and sometimes I only read the short surahs. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no specific recitation prescribed for the night prayer. Rather, a person recites whatever is easy for him from the Qur'an, whether from the long surahs or the short surahs. No specific surahs or verses are preferred or made obligatory in the night prayer, except for what is reported regarding the witr prayer. If one prays witr with three rak'ahs, he recites "Subha manasmi rabbika al-a'la" (Glory be to your Lord, the Most High) in the first rak'ah, "Qul ya ayyuha al-kafirun" (Say, O disbelievers) in the second rak'ah, and Surat al-Ikhlas in the third rak'ah. Yes.
