Is one considered to have abandoned the Qur’an if they recite Surat Al-Baqarah daily but do not recite any other surahs?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Reciting Surat Al-Baqarah carries immense virtue and abundant good. It has been reported that it will come on the Day of Resurrection as an intercessor for its reciters, that taking it is a blessing, and abandoning it is regret. The sorcerers cannot overcome it. Furthermore, reciting it in the home prevents the entry of Satan. Despite this, a Muslim should not limit himself to it and abandon the rest of the Qur’an. Rather, it is better to recite a daily portion from the Qur’an and complete its recitation, as the righteous predecessors used to do.
