Is it permissible to read a part of the Qur'an after each prayer with the intention of completing it weekly, or is this an innovation? And is it permissible to recite Tasbih, Takbir, Tahlil, Hawqalah, and Istighfar before sleeping without restricting oneself to a specific number?
Reciting the Qur’an is a great act of worship, for which the reciter receives ten good deeds for every letter, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah will have a good deed, and a good deed is multiplied tenfold.” One should be keen to recite the Qur’an without dedicating a specific time for it without a reason, so that the Muslim does not fall into the innovation of addition, unless that time is the only time he is free, without believing in its superiority. As for the remembrance before sleep, it is recommended to recite the transmitted supplications, such as the of Al-Bara’ bin Azib: “When you go to your bed, perform ablution as you would for prayer, then lie down on your right side and say: ‘O Allah, I have surrendered myself to You…’ and make these your last words.”
