The pleasure of learning with your online store! Today we're going to talk about Islam and the benefits of Sura Al Mulk!
Sura Al mulk and the punishment of the grave!
Let's get straight to the heart of the matter! You've probably already heard of the punishments of the grave? If not, we're going to try and do a few lines on the subject!
To cut a long story short, the punishment of the grave is one of the consequences of misbehavior and disobedience. People who have refused to repent and follow the Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) during their lifetime, will thus suffer the punishment.
This punishment is based on the principle that Allah rewards and punishes people according to their actions. And that's why getting closer to Allah and what He has permitted, while steering clear of disobedience, is of paramount importance to the believer!
Do you know the benefits of knowing Sura Al Mulk?
An authentic hadith speaks of it!
Quranic verses are certainly beneficial for Muslims. And Sura Al Mulk proves it with this most enriching hadith!
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
According to Zir Ibn Houbaych, 'Abdallah Ibn Mas'oud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Whoever recites the surah - Tabaraka Ladhi Bi Yadihil Moulk - (1) every night, Allah will preserve him from the punishment of the grave.
In the time of the Prophet (PBUH), we used to call it "the hinderer" (2)
This is certainly a surah from the Book of Allah, and whoever recites it during a night has certainly done much and very well."
(Reported by Nasai in 'Amal Al Yawm Wa Leyla n°711 and authenticated by Sheikh Albani in Sahih Taghrib Wa Tarhib n°1475)
(1) This is Sura 67.
(2) I.e. the one that prevents the person from being punished in the grave.
Now that you know more about this sura, it's essential to get closer to it in order to increase your faith and distance yourself from the punishment of the grave.
