Rewards and Virtues of Surah Yasin, al Waqiah and al Mulk

It has been said by our prominent scholars that one should be especially observant in reciting Surat Ya Sin (36), Surat al Waqia (56) and Surat al Mulk.(67)

The Virtues and Benefits of Surah Yasin (36)

1. The Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘Surely everything has a heart, and the heart of the Qur’an is Yasin. I would love that it be in the heart of every person of my people’[Bazzar]. (S.Muhammad Ali Sabuni, Tafsir-al-SabuniVol.2)

2. The Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘Whoever recites Yasin once Allah will record the reward of reciting the Qur’an ten times.’[Maqal, Tirmidhi 2812/A & Dhahabi]

3. It has been reported by Aisha (radiAllahu anha)that the Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said that there is a surah in the Qur’an that intercedes for itsreciter and forgive its listener. Know! It is Surah Yasin. It is called ‘Mu’amma’ in the Torah. It was enquired, what is Mu’amma? The Prophet (SalAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, ‘it embraces the person with the goodness of this world and removes the dismay of the Hereafter’[Hashiya of Tafsir Jalalalayn , pg 368].

4. The Prophet said, ‘Whoever recited Surah Yasin in the night seeking Allah’s pleasure, Allah would forgive him’[Ibn Hibban, Darimi 3283/A, Abu Yala, Tabarani, Baihaqi & Ibn Mardawaih]

5. Ma`qil ibn Yasar (Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him, his family, companions, andfollowers) said,”Ya Sin is the heart of the Qur’an. No one reads it intending thereby Allah and the Next Abode except that Allah forgives them. Recite it for your deceasedones.” [Related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Nasa'i (this wording is his), and Hakim, who deemed it rigorously authenticated (sahih)]

6. Imam Ghazali explained that this is because soundness of faith rests on acknowledging Resurrection and Judgment, and Surat Ya Sin details this in the most emphatic of ways. Imam Fakhr al-Din al-Razi concurred.

7. Imam Tibi explained in his commentary on Mishkat al-Masabih that Surat Ya Sin was called ‘the Heart of the Qur ‘an ‘ because of what it contains of overwhelming proofs, decisive signs, subtle spiritual meanings, eloquent admonition, and stern warnings.

The Virtues and Benefits of Surah al Waqiah (56)

8. The Prophet said, ‘Whoever recites surah al Waqiah at night would never encounter poverty’ [Ibn Sunni 620]

9. The Prophet said, ‘Surah al Waqiah is the Surah of Wealth, so recite it and teach it to your children’[Ibn Asakir]

The Virtues and Benefits of Surah al Mulk (67)

10. The Prophet said, ‘There is a surah in the Qur’an which is only thirty verses. It defended whoevere\recited it , until it puts him into paradise ‘ i.e.Surah al Mulk[Fath al Qadir 5/257, Sahihul Jamiea 1/680, Tabrani inAl-Awsat & Ibn Mardawaith]

11. The Prophet said, ‘Surah al Mulk is the protector from the torment of the grave ‘[Sahihul Jamiea 1/680, Hakim 2/498 & Nasai]

12. Jabir (radiAllahu anhu) said it was the custom of the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihe wasallam not to go to sleep until he had read Tabarakalladhi Biyadihil Mulk and Alif Laam Meem Tanzeel. [Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Darami]

13. Anas (radiAllahu anhu) reported Rasulullah (sallallahu alaiyhi wasalam) as saying, "There is a Surah which will plead for its reciter till it causes him to enter paradise" (Tabarakalladhi Biyadihil Mulk). [Tabrani]

Chapter 56: Surah Al Waqiah (The Great Event) - Sheikh Mishari Rashid Efasy

Chapter 56: Surah Al Waqiah - Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al Sudais

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
56:1 When the great event comes to pass,
56:2 There is no belying its coming to pass--
56:3 Abasing (one party), exalting (the other),
56:4 When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking,
56:5 And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling,
56:6 So that they shall be as scattered dust.
56:7 And you shall be three sorts.
56:8 Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand!
56:9 And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand!
56:10 And the foremost are the foremost,
56:11 These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah),
56:12 In the gardens of bliss.
56:13 A numerous company from among the first,
56:14 And a few from among the latter.
56:15 On thrones decorated,
56:16 Reclining on them, facing one another.
56:17 Round about them shall go youths never altering in age,
56:18 With goblets and ewers and a cup of pure drink;
56:19 They shall not be affected with headache thereby, nor shall they get exhausted,
56:20 And fruits such as they choose,
56:21 And the flesh of fowl such as they desire.
56:22 And pure, beautiful ones,
56:23 The like of the hidden pearls:
56:24 A reward for what they used to do.
56:25 They shall not hear therein vain or sinful discourse,
56:26 Except the word peace, peace.
56:27 And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand!
56:28 Amid thornless lote-trees,
56:29 And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another.
56:30 And extended shade,
56:31 And water flowing constantly,
56:32 And abundant fruit,
56:33 Neither intercepted nor forbidden,
56:34 And exalted thrones.
56:35 Surely We have made them to grow into a (new) growth,
56:36 Then We have made them virgins,
56:37 Loving, equals in age,
56:38 For the sake of the companions of the right hand.
56:39 A numerous company from among the first,
56:40 And a numerous company from among the last.
56:41 And those of the left hand, how wretched are those of the left hand!
56:42 In hot wind and boiling water,
56:43 And the shade of black smoke,
56:44 Neither cool nor honorable.
56:45 Surely they were before that made to live in ease and plenty.
56:46 And they persisted in the great violation.
56:47 And they used to say: What! when we die and have become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised?
56:48 Or our fathers of yore?
56:49 Say: The first and the last,
56:50 Shall most surely be gathered together for the appointed hour of a known day.
56:51 Then shall you, O you who err and call it a lie!
56:52 Most surely eat of a tree of Zaqqoom,
56:53 And fill (your) bellies with it;
56:54 Then drink over it of boiling water;
56:55 And drink as drinks the thirsty camel.
56:56 This is their entertainment on the day of requital.
56:57 We have created you, why do you not then assent?
56:58 Have you considered the seed?
56:59 Is it you that create it or are We the creators?
56:60 We have ordained death among you and We are not to be overcome,
56:61 In order that We may bring in your place the likes of you and make you grow into what you know not.
56:62 And certainly you know the first growth, why do you not then mind?
56:63 Have you considered what you sow?
56:64 Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the causers of growth?
56:65 If We pleased, We should have certainly made it broken down into pieces, then would you begin tb lament:
56:66 Surely we are burdened with debt:
56:67 Nay! we are deprived.
56:68 Have you considered the water which you drink?
56:69 Is it you that send it down from the clouds, or are We the senders?
56:70 If We pleased, We would have made it salty; why do you not then give thanks?
56:71 Have you considered the fire which you strike?
56:72 Is it you that produce the trees for it, or are We the producers?
56:73 We have made it a reminder and an advantage for the wayfarers of the desert.
56:74 Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
56:75 But nay! I swear by the falling of stars;
56:76 And most surely it is a very great oath if you only knew;
56:77 Most surely it is an honored Quran,
56:78 In a book that is protected
56:79 None shall touch it save the purified ones.
56:80 A revelation by the Lord of the worlds.
56:81 Do you then hold this announcement in contempt?
56:82 And to give (it) the lie you make your means of subsistence.
56:83 Why is it not then that when it (soul) comes up to the throat,
56:84 And you at that time look on--
56:85 And We are nearer to it than you, but you do not see--
56:86 Then why is it not-- if you are not held under authority--
56:87 That you send it (not) back-- if you are truthful?
56:88 Then if he is one of those drawn nigh (to Allah),
56:89 Then happiness and bounty and a garden of bliss.
56:90 And if he is one of those on the right hand,
56:91 Then peace to you from those on the right hand.
56:92 And if he is one of the rejecters, the erring ones,
56:93 He shall have an entertainment of boiling water,
56:94 And burning in hell.
56:95 Most surely this is a certain truth.
56:96 Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
