Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkatuh!         The Great Virtues and Benefits of Surah Mulk     The Prophet [salAllahu alayhi wasalam] said:-   'There is a surah in the Qur'an which is only thirty verses. It defended whoever recited it until it puts him into paradise' . i.e. Surah al Mulk [Fath al Qadir 5/257, Sahihul Jamiea 1/680, Tabrani in Al-Awsat & Ibn Mardawaith] The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:-   'Surah al Mulk is the protector from the torment of the grave' [Sahihul Jamiea 1/680, Hakim 2/498 & Nasai] Jabir (radiAllahu anhu) said:-  it was the custom of the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) not to go to sleep until he had read 'Tabarakallahi Biyadihil Mulk' and 'Alif Laam Meem Tanzeel'.    [Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Darami] Anas (radiAllahu anhu) reported ;   Prophet (Sallallahu Alaiyhi Wasalam) as saying:-    "There is a Surah which will plead for its reciter till it causes him to enter paradise -   'Tabarakallahi Biyadihil Mulk."

If we belong to your book, accept our intercession in his favour. In case we do not, get us obliterated. These surahs will spread their wings like birds and will save the person from the torment of the grave.' ...My 'Salaams' To You All...                            Y a s m i n.                     "All that is on earth will Perish.
