The virtues of Surah Al Mulk
Al Mulk, like other surahs in the Koran, has priority for anyone who reads it. In this case, the primacy of Al Mulk’s letter can also be felt if Sinaumed’s memorizes 30 of its verses. What are the virtues of Surah Al Mulk? Check out the explanation carefully here.
1. Getting Intercession
Someone who reads Al Mulk’s letter or even memorizes it, will get intercession. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will provide help to His servants through the Messenger. In addition, for anyone who likes to read Surah Al Mulk, their sins will be forgiven.
2. Raising Someone’s Degree
Allah has determined 30 goodness, 30 forgiveness and 30 degrees exalted for anyone who reads Surah Al Mulk. The primacy of this letter is also explained in a hadith narrated by Ad Dailami.
3. Loved or Beloved by the Apostle
The third priority of Surah Al Mulk is for a Muslim who reads it, the Prophet will love him too. Apart from being loved or loved by the Apostle, a Muslim who reads Surah Al Mulk also gives peace to the readers and memorizers.
4. Given Multiple Rewards
For anyone who diligently reads Surah Al Mulk, Allah will multiply the reward up to 10 times for whoever Allah wills.
5. Abstain from Immorality
In Surah Al Mulk, it is explained that a Muslim who obeys Allah is someone who believes in the existence of Allah and will carry out his deeds even though he knows that Allah does not see or is invisible.
When someone reads Surah Al Mulk diligently, that person’s heart will be moved to distance themselves from immoral acts or actions that are hated by Allah and invite sin. This is stated in the letter Al Mulk verse 12.
6. Getting Help on the Day of Judgment
Not a single person, not a single creature in this world knows when doomsday will come. Therefore, as a believing Muslim, that Muslim should prepare himself for the Day of Judgment.
How to? Of course by multiplying the practice, so that there will be no regrets when the Day of Judgment arrives. One of the ways to increase practice is to read the Al-Quran and Surah Al Mulk to get closer to Allah and keep away from all sinful acts.
7. Saving Yourself from Torture in the Grave
Before humans are placed between heaven and hell, humans will of course live out their time in the grave. There are those who receive torture in the grave to be held accountable for all their actions while in the world, but there are also those who receive relief in the grave.
In Islam, the torment of the grave is something that is so painful, especially for someone who has not or has not prepared himself with his practices. In order to avoid the torment of a painful grave, a Muslim can increase the practice of sunnah, one of which is by reading and practicing Surah Al Mulk.
8. Making Someone A More Trusting Muslim
In Surah Al Mulk verse 15, Allah has shown that it is prescribed by law regarding orders to walk the earth to seek sustenance by trading, farming and other means.
This command shows that trust does not only mean surrendering to Allah, but also working and trying to get something, such as the desired sustenance.
9. Make Prophet Muhammad SAW happy
One of the things that is a dream for a Muslim is that he is able to make the feelings of the Prophet Muhammad happy. This is evidenced by how often Muslims read and recite blessings. As it is known that prayer can make the Prophet’s heart happy.
Apart from reciting blessings, Sinaumed’s, who is a Muslim, can also please the Prophet Muhammad by diligently reading Surah Al Mulk. The virtue of Al Mulk’s letter is explained in a hadith narrated by Hakim.
“I like this letter (tabarakal lazi bi yadihil mulk) because it is in the heart of every believer” ( HR. Al Hakim ).
