The Virtue of Reciting Surat al-Mulk

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.

The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, tell us about the virtue of reciting Surat al-Mulk, and the verses and hadiths that have been transmitted regarding it?

The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Surat al-Mulk is what He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:
(1) Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent - (2) [He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deedتَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا
[Al-Mulk 67:1-2]
and He is the Almighty, the Forgiving, to the end of the surah. This is Surat al-Mulk. It has been reported that whoever recites it, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will save him from the punishment of the grave. Therefore, it is called al-Munjiyyah (the Savior). So whoever recites it seeking the reward from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, Allah will protect him from the punishment of the grave by it. Yes.
