Reciting Surah Mulk at the onset of Maghrib

English
Fatwa

Question

Q. I heard that it is recommended to read Sura Mulk at night before going to sleep. Can one read it just after the Maghrib prayer?

Answer

The Hadith regarding the virtue of Surah Mulk to be recited at night is as follows:

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said: “Whosoever recites Tabaarakallazi (Surah Mulk) every night, it will be a means for his salvation from the punishment of the grave”. (Sunan Al Kubra – Nasaa’ee #10479)

Islamically, night begins at sunset. Hence, one may recite it from after Maghrib onwards and not specifically before going to sleep.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
