Benefit:
After Surah al-Fatihah, it is permissible to recite from any part of the Noble Qur’an as desired.
It is stated in the Noble Qur’an:
﴿فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ﴾ (al-Muzzammil: 20)
“Recite, then, whatever is easy for you from the Qur’an.”
In this hadith, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) recited Surah Qaf in the Fajr prayer.
