Question:
I have read hadiths that that one should die upon it, so I read it, but when I read it, I notice that I read the first part or a word, and I keep reading it, then I read it one last time, and I doubt that I read it completely, knowing that I read it with concentration and try to be humble with it, but I remain in my forgetfulness. Guide us to a right path, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, it is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged reading Ayat al-Kursi and[Al-Ikhlas 112:1] and the two chapters of protection (al-Mu'awwidhatayn) after the obligatory prayers, and this is emphasized after the Fajr prayer and the Maghrib prayer. One repeats Surat al-Ikhlas and the two chapters of protection three times. After reading Ayat al-Kursi, one repeats these chapters three times after the Maghrib prayer and the Fajr prayer. As for the other obligatory prayers, one reads them once. In this, there is this noble promise that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) will admit him to Paradise if he dies upon that. So reading Ayat al-Kursi and reading these three chapters after it is encouraged because of the great good in them.
As for what the questioner mentioned about her reading and doubting and forgetting, this is waswas (whispers of Satan). Do not pay attention to it; this is waswas, so do not pay attention to it. She should proceed with her reading and seek help from Allah. Before reading, she should seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, due to His saying (the Exalted)[An-Nahl 16:98-100] So she should rely on Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), seek refuge in Him, and Allah will protect her from this enemy.
I have read hadiths that
Whoever reads Ayat al-Kursi after every prayer, nothing prevents him from entering Paradise except

(98) So when you recite the Qur'an, [first] seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy]. (99) Indeed, there is for him no authority over those who have believed and rely upon their Lord. (100) His authority is only over those who take him as an ally and those who through him associate others with Allah.
فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ سُلْطَانٌ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ إِنَّمَا سُلْطَانُهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهُ وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِهِ مُشْرِكُونَ
