الملك
AL-MULK
Take one verse, and stay with it as long as you wish. There is no need to reach the end.
Offered with humility. Recitation by Abdul Basit Abdus Samad or Mishary Rashid al-Afasy, as you choose. The thirty-verse intercession hadith is related in Sunan at-Tirmidhi and Sunan Abi Dawud; the Prophet's habit of reciting this surah before sleep is related in Sunan at-Tirmidhi; the reading of best in deed as most sincere and most correct is from al-Fudayl ibn 'Iyad; the three purposes of the stars are from the early commentator Qatadah. The notes are read in a soft voice named Nora, used only for the English, never for the Quran.
