This document discusses the greatness of Surah Sajdah and Surah Mulk from the Quran based on hadiths from the Prophet Muhammad. It states that these two surahs have benefits for the reader, especially in the afterlife. Reciting them after Maghrib and before sleeping is encouraged, as the Prophet did not sleep without reciting them. They are said to intercede for the reciter and lead to forgiveness of sins and entry into Paradise. The document provides links to read the full text of the two surahs and instructions for performing sajdah when reciting certain verses in Surah Sajdah.

3. INTRODUCTION
Assalamu
Alaikum,
Dear
Brothers
and
Sisters
In
Islam,
This
small
document
has
been
uploaded
with
the
intention
of
spreading
the
knowledge
of
Islam
and
the
teachings
of
our
Beloved
Holy
Prophet
(P.B.U.H).
The
Quran
has
been
revealed
as
a
source
of
guidance
for
the
entire
mankind
and
in
it
are
chapters
that
are
revealed
for
our
protection
and
salvation.
From
the
Holy
Quran,
there
are
two
Surahs
that
I
personally
love
due
to
the
benefits
the
reader
can
derive
from
its
recitation
especially
in
the
next
life.
These
two
Surahs
are
namely
Surah
Sajdah
(No.
32)
and
Surah
Mulk
(No.
67).
HADITHS
IN
RELATION
TO
THE
TWO
SURAHS
1. Abu
Hurayrah
(may
Allah
be
pleased
with
him)
that
Allah’s
Messenger
(sallAllahu
‘alayhi
wa
sallam)
said,
"Verily,
there
is
a
chapter
in
the
Qur’an
which
contains
thirty
Ayat
that
will
intercede
on
behalf
of
its
reciter
until
he
is
forgiven.
(It
is):
‘Blessed
be
He
in
Whose
Hand
is
the
dominion.’"
(Surah
al-‐
Mulk)
[At-‐Tirmidhi
and
Abu
Dawud]
2. The
Holy
Prophet
(P.H.U.H)
has
said,
The
person
who
reads
tabarakallazi-‐biyadihil-‐Mulk
and
Alif-‐
lam'meen
Tanzeel-‐us-‐Sajdah
between
Maghrib
and
Esha.The
reward(for
reading
these
2surahs)
will
be
as
though
he(the
reader)
had
stood
awake
(during
the
night
of)
Laylatul
Qadr."
(Ibn-‐Mardawayh,
Ruhul-‐Ma'aani)
4. 3. The
Holy
Prophet
(P.H.U.H)
has
said,
‘There
is
a
surah
in
the
Qur’an
which
is
only
thirty
verses.
It
defended
whoever
recited
it
until
it
puts
him
into
paradise’
i.e.
Surah
al
Mulk
[Fath
al
Qadir
5/257,
Sahihul
Jamiea
1/680,
Tabrani
in
Al-‐Awsat
&
Ibn
Mardawaith]
4. Jabir
Radiyallahu
‘anhu
narrates
That
Nabi
Sallallahu
‘alaihi
wasallam
did
not
use
to
sleep
until
he
recited
Alif
Lam
Mim
Sajdah,
(Surah
32)
and
Tabarakalladhl
biyadihil
mulk
(Surah
67).
(Tirmidhi)
WHEN
TO
RECITE
As
narrated
by
Jabir
Radiyallahu
‘anhu
narrates,
that
Nabi
Sallallahu
‘alaihi
wasallam
did
not
use
to
sleep
until
he
recited
Alif
Lam
Mim
Sajdah,
(Surah
32)
and
Tabarakalladhl
biyadihil
mulk
(Surah
67).
(Tirmidhi)
Please
read
both
Surahs
after
Magrib
and
before
sleeping.
Dear
beloved
Reader,
when
we
are
put
in
our
graves
we
are
all
alone
and
only
our
deeds
will
come
to
our
benefit.
When
Allah
(SWT)
has
promised
through
the
blessed
lips
of
the
Holy
Prophet
(P.B.U.H)
of
Surah
that
will
intercede
on
the
person’s
behalf
till
the
sins
are
forgiven
and
Insha
Allah
Paradise
given,
don’t
you
think
we
should
take
advantage
of
such
benefit?
Reading
these
Surahs
will
only
take
around
10
minutes
of
your
time,
however
the
benefit
that
will
be
derived
is
priceless.
Please
do
spend
a
little
bit
of
your
time
to
recite
the
Surahs
after
Magrib,
do
educate
your
family
and
spread
this
knowledge.
9. PLEASE
NOTE
At
the
end
of
Ayat
number
15,
there
is
a
Sajdah
that
needs
to
be
done
and
it
is
called
Sajdah
Tilawah.
Sajdah
Tilawah
is
the
Sajdah
that
one
has
to
perform
as
an
obligatory
duty
when
one
reads,
recites,
or
hears,
in
the
prayer
or
outside,
some
specific
verses
containing
those
words.
The
Holy
Prophet,
Sall-‐Allahu
alayhi
wa
sallam,
has
observed,
"One
a
person
prostrates
himself
after
reading
a
verse
requiring
the
performance
of
sajdah,
the
shaitan
starts
crying
and
wailing
in
a
corner,
saying:
'Alas!
The
children
of
Adam
were
enjoined
to
perform
sajdah
and
they
carried
it
out,
and
become
entitled
to
enter
Paradise,
but
I
refused
to
do
so
and
was
condemned
to
Hell.'"
(Muslim
and
Ibn
Majah)
There
are
four
pre-‐requirements:
1. Purity
of
body,
clothes,
and
place
of
sajdah.
2. Covering
of
satr.
3. Turning
your
face
toward
qiblah.
4. Intention
of
performing
sajdah.
Procedure
1. Stand
facing
the
qiblah.
2. Express
the
necessary
intention.
3. Go
down
for
sajdah
with
Allahu-‐Akbar.
4. Rise
up
with
Allahu-‐Akbar
after
sajdah.
"When
you
have
recited
a
verse
requiring
sajdah
Tilawah,
you
should
go
down
for
sajdah
with
Allahu-‐Akbar
and
rise
from
sajdah
with
Allahu-‐Akbar,
which
may
be
performed
sitting,
though
it
is
preferable
to
prostrate
oneself
from
the
standing
position."
(Abu
Dawood)
10. Dua
in
Sajdah
Tilawah
I
have
prostrated
my
face
to
the
One
Who
created
it,
and
gave
it
hearing
and
sight
by
His
might
and
His
power.
Glory
is
to
Allah,
the
Best
of
Creators
(Tirmidhi,
Ahmad)
