  • Merits of Surah Al-Mulk

    Merits of Surah Al-Mulk

    “O Allah! Keep me occupied with Your remembrance and the recitation of the Holy Quran. Forgive me on the day of judgement and Grant me a lofty place in Jannatul Firdous” AMEEN

    REMINDER: Try to recite Surah Mulk everyday. According to a hadith, it will intercede on behalf of its reciter,until he is forgiven.

    “Verily, there is a chapter in the Qur’an which contains thirty Ayahs that will intercede on behalf of its reciter until he is forgiven. (It is): (Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion.”

    This Hadith was collected by At-Tirmidhi and the four Sunan Compilers. At-Tirmidhi said concerning it, “This is a Hasan Hadith.” At-Tabarani and Al-Hafiz Ad-Diya’ Al-Maqdisi both recorded from Anas that the Messenger of Allah Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallaam said,

    “There is a chapter of the Qur’an that will argue on behalf of its reciter until it causes him to enter into Paradise. (It is): (Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion.”
