The question

What is the validity of the claim that repeating a certain number of God's Most Beautiful Names, or a specific Surah, or a verse from the Qur’an, subjugates a servant of that name or verse? And does every name and verse have a servant? And is this servant an angel? And does reciting Surah Yasin 41 times cause the servant to appear?

The answer

What is mentioned about a (chapter of the Quran) or one of Allah's Beautiful Names or an Ayah (verse) having a servant, or that repeating it will subjugate its servant, is false كلام باطل and has no evidence. Specifying Ayat (verses) and Surahs with virtues or for fulfilling needs without evidence is considered an innovation (bid'ah), as stated by the scholar Bakr Abu Zayd. However, it is prescribed to recite the Quran for worship and to ask Allah for needs through it, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Recite the Quran and ask Allah through it." The intent of this is to ask Allah Almighty for whatever one wishes of worldly and

Hereafter matters through the Quran, or to supplicate after reciting it.
