Is it permissible to recite Surahs "Ad-Dukhan, Al-Jumu'ah, Al-Munafiqun, Sabbih Isma Rabbika Al-A'la, Al-Ghashiyah, and Al-Kahf" every Friday, and is there a verse about death in the Quran, and if so, in which Surah and verse?

What is established in the Sunnah is the recitation of Surat Al-Kahf on Friday, based on the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever recites Surat Al-Kahf on the day of Friday, a light will illuminate for him between the two Fridays." As for reciting other surahs on Friday, there is no harm in it to gain reward, based on the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah will have a good deed for it, and a good deed is multiplied tenfold." However, one should not consistently perform it at this time with the intention that it is a Sunnah, due to the absence of evidence specifying it, and because that would be an additive innovation (bid'ah idafiyyah).
