Every Muslim must have the Quran with him every day to gain a lot of reward and increase closeness to Allah SWT, because the Holy Quran is the complete guide for this life, and it is known that if you read this great book that was revealed to Muhammad, PBUH, you will have a lot of blessings during the day and you will always feel happy, so many people wonder which surah to recite after zuhr prayer?
In this article, Sheikh Saleh Academy provides a comprehensive and detailed guide to knowing which surah to recite after zuhr prayer, as well as after each prayer, based on the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet to know everything related to reading the Holy Quran throughout the day.
What to read after each Namaz?
Many Muslims ask about which surah to recite after Zuhr prayer and after other prayers, and it should be noted that reading the Holy Quran is a recommended Sunnah at all times and there is no specific surah that must be read after each prayer, but rather every Muslim has the right to choose whatever surahs he wants to read at any time and he should not specify a specific time only to read the surahs.
If you have time and want to read the Quran after each prayer, you can choose the surahs that you prefer and there are many surahs that have a great reward such as Surah Al-Kafirun and Surah Ar-Rahman and other great surahs that bring the servant closer to Allah SWT and soften his heart and make him feel a lot of humility.
عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “لا حسد إلا في اثنتين: رجل آتاه الله القرآن، فهو يقوم به آناء الليل وآناء النهار، ورجل آتاه الله مالًا، فهو ينفقه آناء الليل وآناء النهار”؛ متفق عليه.
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There is no envy except in two: a man whom Allah has given the Qur’an, and he stands with it (in prayer) during the hours of the night and the hours of the day, and a man whom Allah has given wealth, and he spends it during the hours of the night and the hours of the day.” Agreed upon.
Which surah to recite after zuhr prayer?
If you want to read the Holy Quran after the Dhuhr prayer and you ask which surah to recite after zuhr prayer, the answer is that you have complete freedom to choose the surahs that you want to read after the Dhuhr prayer as there are no specific surahs to read at this time, but if you read anything from the Quran you will get the same reward, as the reader gets 10 good deeds for each letter of the Quran as in the hadith:
في سُنَن الترمذي من حديث عبد الله بن مسعود قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: “من قرأ حرفًا من كتاب الله فله حسنة، والحسنة بعشر أمثالها، لا أقول (ألم) حرف، ولكن ألف حرف ولام حرف وميم حرف.”
In Sunan al-Tirmidhi, from the narration of Abdullah ibn Mas’ud, he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah, he will have a reward, and the reward will be multiplied tenfold. I do not say (Alif-Lam-Mim) is a letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter, and Mim is a letter.”
Which surah to pray after fajr?
Many brothers and sisters ask about which surah to recite after zuhr prayer and Fajr prayer, and since the Messenger of Allah, PBUH, urged us to sit after Fajr prayer until sunrise to remember Allah SWT, and the Holy Quran is the best remembrance; therefore, it is recommended to read the Holy Quran at this time, but there is no specific surah.
Although there is no hadith in the Sunnah indicating the presence of a specific surah after Fajr prayer, many people prefer to read Surah Yasin based on one of the hadiths that urged reading Surah Yasin at the beginning of the day because Allah SWT fulfills a person’s need and makes his day easy for him if he reads this surah, but it must be known that this hadith is weak, but some prefer to act on it as a matter of virtues of deeds.

Can we recite surah mulk after maghrib?
Of course, any Muslim can read Surah Al-Mulk after Maghrib, but it is not obligatory or Sunnah, but the Sunnah is to read any Surah of the Quran at this time, but if you read Surah Al-Mulk, there are some weak hadiths that have been reported about the merit of reading Surah Al-Mulk after Maghrib prayer, but it is preferable to read Surah Al-Mulk and others and not to limit yourself to Surah Al-Mulk only, and reading Surah Al-Mulk is recommended in every prayer because it protects its reader from the torment of the grave and also protects him from the jinn.
Hadith about reciting surah after fajr
It is recommended for a Muslim to recite Surah Al-Ikhlas and the two Mu’awwidhat, which are Surah An-Nas and Surah Al-Falaq, after every prayer once, except for Fajr and Maghrib prayers, in which it is recommended to recite the three surahs three times, due to a hadith reported from the Prophet (PBUH):
لِمَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ فِي (سُنَنِهِ) عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: (أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ بِالْمُعَوِّذَاتِ دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ).
As narrated by Abu Dawood in his “Sunan” on the authority of ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir, who said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to recite the Mu’awwidhat (Surahs of seeking refuge, i.e., Al-Falaq and An-Nas) after every prayer.”
Why Should You recite After Zuhr Prayer?

Is There Any Specific Reward For Reciting These Surahs After Prayer?
The reward for reading these surahs after every prayer is the same as the reward for reading any surah at any other time of the day, because reading the Holy Quran is one of the righteous deeds that bring Muslims closer to Allah SWT, as a Muslim gets 10 good deeds when reading each letter of the Quran, but his intention must be pure for Allah SWT in order to get this reward.
Are There Specific Surahs To Seek Protection Or Blessings From?
All the chapters of the Holy Quran are good and blessed and protect the Muslim from Satan and evil, as Allah SWT said:
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ يَهْدِى لِلَّتِى هِىَ أَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًۭا كَبِيرًۭا
Indeed, this Quran guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward.
Although there are some hadiths that indicate the virtue of reading some chapters of the Quran and some verses, most of these hadiths are weak hadiths and it is better to read all the chapters of the Quran.
The most prominent Surahs that are encouraged to read are Surah Al-Mulk, as the Prophet, PBUH, urged people to read it because it intercedes for its reciter until he is forgiven.
