There is no single Surah designated as the Surah to read every day in Islam. However, several Surahs are highly recommended for daily recitation due to their immense spiritual benefits and the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) practice. The choice often depends on personal preference and spiritual goals.
Highly Recommended Surahs for Daily Recitation
Several sources highlight specific Surahs for daily reading, often associating them with particular times of day:
-
Surah Yaseen (36): Considered the "heart of the Quran," many sources strongly recommend reciting Surah Yaseen daily, particularly after Fajr prayer. This is based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) teachings, which promise a reward equivalent to reading the entire Quran ten times for those who recite it daily. [Numerous references including the MuslimKit and Muslimi articles support this recommendation.]
-
Surah Al-Mulk (67): Frequently suggested for nightly recitation before sleep, Surah Al-Mulk is believed to protect against the trials of the grave. [Supported by Seeker's Guidance, Reddit discussions, and other articles].
-
Other Surahs: Other Surahs frequently mentioned for daily or regular recitation include:
- Surah Al-Rahman (55): Suggested after Zohar prayer.
- Surah Al-Waqi'ah (56): Suggested after Asr prayer.
- Surah Al-Mulk (67): Suggested after Isha prayer.
- Surah Ikhlas (112): A short but powerful Surah often recited frequently due to its significance. [Utrujj article mentions this.]
- Surah Al-Fatiha (1): The opening chapter of the Quran, recited in every prayer. [Utrujj article highlights this.]
Choosing Your Daily Surah(s)
The best approach is to select Surahs that resonate with you personally and fit your daily schedule. Prioritize understanding the meaning of the verses over simply reciting them. Even short Surahs, recited with sincerity and understanding, can bring immense spiritual rewards.
