Does listening to Surat Al-Mulk before sleep, for one who cannot recite it well, equal the reward of reciting it?
Regarding the virtues of Al-Mulk, it is mentioned that it intercedes for its reciter until he is forgiven. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would not sleep until he had recited "Alif Lam Mim Tanzil" (Surah As-Sajdah) and "Tabarakalladhi Biyadihil Mulk" (Surah Al-Mulk). Whoever recites it every night will be protected from the torment of the grave. The Companions, during the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, named it "Al-Mani'ah" (The Protector/Preventer). The mentioned virtue is for those who recite the Surah, and listening alone is not considered recitation. However, if one cannot recite, he can repeat after a reciter to attain the reward of recitation. And whoever can only listen is not deprived of the reward of the reciter as long as he does what he is capable of.
