Madani Pearls About Recitation The Holy Quran (21/21)

On completion of the recitation of the full Holy Quran, after reciting Surah An-Nas, recite Surah Al-Fati ah and Surah Al-Baqarah up to وَاُولٓئِکَ ھُمُ الْمُفْلِحُوْنَ, and then make Du’a [supplication], because this is Sunnah. In this respect, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Abbas رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْھُمَا has reported from Sayyiduna Ubayy Bin Ka’b رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ, ‘When the Merciful Prophet ﷺ would recite قُلْ اَعُوْذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ he would start Surah Al-Fati ah, then Surah Al-Baqarah up to ‘وَاُولٰٓئِکَ ھُمُ للْمُفْلِحُوْنَ, and then after asking the Du’a [supplication] for the completion of the recitation of the full Quran, he would quit.’

When the recitation of the full Quran is completed, it is better to recite Surah Al-Ikhlas 3 times. This also applies when offering Tarawi Salah; however, if completion is being done in Fard Salah, do not recite Surah Al-Ikhlas more than once.

Madani Pearls About Recitation The Holy Quran (19/21)

In the summer, it is better to complete the recitation of the Holy Quran in the morning, whereas in the winter, it is better to complete it in the initial part of the night, because it is mentioned in a Hadiš, ‘Whoever completes the recitation of the Holy Quran at the start of the day, angels will ask forgiveness for him until the evening, and whoever completes it at the beginning of the night, angels will ask forgiveness for him until the morning.’

As the daytime is longer in the summer, completing the recitation of the Holy Quran in the morning will result in more supplications for forgiveness by the angels. On the other hand, the nights are longer in winter; therefore completing it in initial part of the night will amount to more [supplications for] forgiveness.
