The virtue of Surat al-Mulk and the regularity of reciting it in the 'Isha' prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also says: I have read something about Surat al-Mulk and the virtue of reciting it, and I am regular in reciting it daily in the 'Isha' prayer. Is this practice prescribed?

Answer:
There are reports regarding the virtue of Surat al-Mulk, mentioned by al-Hazim ibn Kathir and others. There is no doubt that it is a great surah, and it has great virtue. All of the Qur'an is great, and all of it contains virtue and reward, but some of it is more distinguished than other parts. Among these is Surat al-Mulk, which has virtues as mentioned in the hadiths. As for committing to reciting it in the obligatory prayer or in the voluntary prayer, there is no evidence for this. However, the Muslim recites it without committing to a specific prayer; he recites it in prayer, he recites it in the place of prayer, without commitment and without focusing on a specific time or a specific state, but rather he recites it as it becomes easy for him to do so.
