Prayers Before Sleeping
42. A Protection in the Grave (Surah Mulk)
The messenger of Allahﷺ said, “It is my desire that
Sūrat al-Mulk [Quran: beginning chapter 29, 67 th
Sūrat] should be in the heart of every believer.”
(Muslim)
It is stated in several Hadith that one who recites Surah
Al-Mulk every night is guaranteed security from the
tortures and punishment of the grave as well as from
that in Hell. (Hakim). According to another Hadith the
messenger of Allahﷺ said, “A Sūrat in the Quran
consisting of thirty verses will intercede on behalf of its
reciter until he is forgiven.” [Referring to Sūrat Mulk]
(Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi & Nasai)
43. Tasbihaat-e-Faatima
It is beneficial to pray the tasbih-a-fatima before
sleeping. Recite the following:
33 times: ِ للها َناحَ بْس Subhaanal-laah- Exalted is Allah
ُ
33 times: ّٰ ّلِل ِ ِه Al-hamdu-lillaah-Praise be to Allah
ُد ْ م َ حـْلَا
34 times: رُ ـبْكَا َ ُللهَا Allaahu-akbar - Allah is the Greatest
(Abu Dawud)
