What are the benefits of reading Surat Al-Mulk, Al-Waqi'ah, Al-Haqqah, and An-Nur?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The virtue of Surat Al-Mulk is established by the hadith: "Indeed, a surah from the Qur'an, of thirty verses, interceded for a man until he was forgiven, and it is Surah Tabarak Alladhi biyadihi al-Mulk (Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion)." As for the virtue of Surat Al-Waqi'ah, a weak hadith states: "Whoever recites Surat Al-Waqi'ah every night will never be afflicted by poverty." However, regarding Surat Al-Haqqah, what some commentators mention as a hadith is not authentic, for Al-Manawi stated that it is a fabricated hadith. And Surat An-Nur was magnified by Allah Almighty at its beginning, and Al-Bayhaqi narrated that Omar wrote to his governors: "Learn Surat Bara'ah and teach your women Surat An-Nur," but Al-Albani said about its chain of narration: "Its narrators are trustworthy except for Al-Bayhaqi's shaykh, whom I do not know."
