Quran: Merits of Al-Mulk

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, related that Allah’s Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “Verily there is a chapter from the Book of Allah, Mighty Majestic, that is only 30 verses long which interceded for a man until it removed him from the Fire and caused him enter Paradise. It is the chapter Mulk.” [Hakim]
Ibn Masud said: “A man will be visited in his grave, he will be approached from the direction of his legs and they will say: ‘You have no way from our direction, he used to recite Sura al-Mulk while standing on us.’ Then his torso will be approached and it will say: ‘You have no way against me, he held Sura al Mulk in me.’ Then he will be approached from his head and it will say: ‘You have no way against me.’” [Abdur Razaq and Hakim]
Ibn Abbas said, “Recite: ‘Exalted is He in Whose Hand is sovereignty’. Memorize it; teach it to your spouse, all of your offspring, the children of your home, and your neighbors. Verily it is a savior and an intercessor. It intercedes and pleads on the Day of Rising with its Lord for he who reads it. It seeks from his Lord to deliver him from the Fire if it is within his breast. And through it Allah rescues its reciter from the punishment of the grave.” [Bayhaqi]
And Allah Most High knows best.
