What is prescribed to be recited from the verses in the morning, in the evening, and after the obligatory prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first message in this episode is from one of the female listeners, Umm Tamadur. Umm Tamadur, we have previously addressed some of your questions in a past meeting, and in this meeting as well, you have a number of questions. You ask and say: Are there specific verses that a Muslim recites in the day and night from the Qur'an, with mention of the virtues of some surahs, and clarification of the seven saving verses from the Qur'an? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
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. As for the verses and surahs that it is prescribed to recite in the morning, in the evening, and after the obligatory prayers, they are Ayat al-Kursi, which is the greatest verse in the Book of Allah. Whoever recites it when he goes to sleep, a protector from Allah remains over him, and no Shaytan approaches him until he rises. Also, the recitation of Surat al-Ikhlas
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قل هو الله أحد
[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]
,
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreakوقل أعوذ برب الفلق
[Al-Falaq 113:1]
, and
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,قل أعوذ برب الناس
[An-Nas 114:1]
. These surahs are recited after Ayat al-Kursi when going to sleep, and after the prayers. However, after Fajr, these three surahs are repeated, each one three times, after Fajr and after Maghrib. As for the rest of the prayers, he recites them once, after Ayat al-Kursi. With this, Allah the Exalted protects him; this recitation becomes a fortress for him against all evil, and Allah protects him thereby from what he dislikes. Therefore, a person should not neglect himself from this secure fortress, nor be lax or lazy in reciting this verse and these surahs in these situations. As for the seven saving verses, as mentioned in the question, I do not know of anything in the Qur'an called the seven saving verses. Yes, the Qur'an has the Seven Repeated (al-Mathani). Allah the Exalted said:
And We have certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur'an.وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ
[Al-Hijr 15:87]
. It is well known that this refers to Surat al-Fatihah, because it is seven verses. It was also said that the Seven Repeated refers to the seven long surahs, the seven long surahs at the beginning of the Qur'an. Yes.
