In the morning or night, you should seek Allah’s refuge. But what is the Surah to read in the morning for protection and guidance, let’s find out.
What is the best surah to read in the morning?
Here are the surahs that you should read every morning.
1. Surah Baqarah.
And one of the most powerful surahs to read is surah al-Baqarah. And the most famous Aya to read is Ayat ul-Kursi.
It is famous for being the greatest verse of the Quran. We should memorize it and read it regularly and after each salah.
“Allah! There is no god [worthy of worship] except Him, the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining.
Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him.
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.
Who could possibly intercede with Him without His permission?
He [fully] knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them, but no one can grasp any of His knowledge—except what He wills [to reveal].
His Seat encompasses the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of both does not tire Him. For He is the Most High, the Greatest.”
The verse shows us that there is no god but Allah.
The prophet said:
“Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi at the end of every obligatory prayer, nothing but death will prevent him from entering Paradise.”
Be sure to read it after each prayer, in the morning, before sleeping, and when waking up.
But, why is it so important to read? This Aya shows Allah’s power and glory. There’s a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing be upon him) said:
“For everything, there is a hump (pinnacle) and the hump (pinnacle) of the Qur’an is Surah Al-Baqarah, in it, there is an Ayah which is the master of the Ayat in the Qur’an; [it is] Ayat ul-Kursi.”
The Prophet told us about the many virtues of surah Baqarah. And the importance of reading its last two Ayat and Ayat ul-Kursi. Among those many virtues is that playing or reading surah al-Baqarah in the house in the morning protects the house from any evil.
Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said:
“Do not make your houses into graves, for the Shaytan flees from a house in which Surat al-Baqarah is recited.”
Abu Umamah al-Bahili said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “Read Surat al-Baqarah, for reciting it regularly is a blessing and forsaking it is a cause of regret, and the magicians cannot withstand it.”
Benefits of reading Surah Baqarah in the morning.
One of the surahs you should read in the morning is surah Baqarah. Especially Ayat al-kursi and the last two verses from the surah.
One of its major benefits is that it protects you from Shaitan (Satan). Reading surah al-Baqarah daily will protect us from anyone who wishes us harm, the evil eye, and witchcraft.
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said:
“Satan runs away from the house in which Surah Baqarah is recited.”
Also, there are many hadiths about the importance of reading the last two verses.
Abu Mas’ud Al-Badri narrated:
I heard the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) saying, “He who recites the two Ayat [verses] at the end of Surat Al Baqarah at night, they will suffice him. “
Jubayr ibn Nufayr narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said:
“Allah finished Surah al-Baqarah with two verses (285 and 286) which I have been given from His Treasure which is under the Throne; so learn them and teach them to your womenfolk, for they are a blessing, a means of an approach (to Allah) and a supplication.”
It is said that one of the benefits of Surah Baqarah for 40 days helps get rid of the devils and evil eyes from the house.

2. Surah Al-Falaq.
Surah Falaq is one of the shortest surahs in the Quran. However, it is one of the most powerful surahs for protection against evil, black magic, and envy. Therefore, you should be sure to read it in the morning, and before sleeping.
The name of the surah came from its first verse. The meaning of the word Falaq is “daybreak”. It is also referred to as Mu‘awwadhah (seeking refuge). It is the surah number 113 in the holy Quran, that was revealed to the prophet in Madinah.
Surah Falaq was revealed to the prophet when he was ill due to black magic. Therefore, Allah revealed the surah to cure him.
Our beloved prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said:
“Whoever recites the two surahs of Falaq and Nas, it is as though he has recited all the scriptures of Divine prophets.”
One of the Imams said:
“Whoever recites the three surahs of Falaq, Nās, and Ikhlas in the Watr prayer of his night prayer, a caller will address him saying, ‘Good news for you that God has accepted your Watr prayer.”
One of the most beloved surahs to Allah is surah Falaq. The prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said:
“The two surahs of Falaq and Nās are among the most cherished surahs of the Quran before God.”
One of the surahs to read to ask Allah for forgiveness is surah Falaq.
Our Prophet said,
“Whoever recites the three surahs of Ikhlas, Nās, and Falaq ten times every night, it is as though he has recited the whole Quran, his sins will be forgiven as though he has just been born, and his death will be martyrdom.”

3. Surah Al-Nas.
Surah Nas is one of the shortest surahs in the holy Quran. It is the surah number 114 and the final surah in the Quran.
Surah Al-Nas is one of the most powerful surahs for protection. Reading it keeps you safe from black magic, evil eye, and any harm.
The evil eye can cause all sorts of diseases. That’s why you should read surah Nas for protection. And reading it can cure any disease. And it keeps you safe from any harm. So be sure to read this surah in the morning and at night to protect yourself.
Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) narrated:
“Whenever Allah’s Messenger SAW became sick, he would recite Mu’awwidhat (Surah Falaq and Surah Naas) and then blew His breath over His body. When he became seriously ill, I used to recite (these two Surahs) and rub his hands over his body hoping for its blessings.”
4. Surah Al-Ikhlas.
Here are the verses of the surah:
“ Say [O Prophet], “He is Allah—One [and Indivisible];
Allah—the Sustainer [needed by all].
He has never had offspring, nor was He born.
And there is none comparable to Him.” (Surah Al-Ikhlas)
This surah shows us who Allah is. Even though it is a short surah it holds a great reward for the reader.
The prophet said that reading surah Al-Ikhlas is like reading one-third of the Quran. The prophet used to pray with surah Kafirun and Ikhlas in the optional prayer before Fajr and also in Witr.
“The Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) would read in the two Rakahs of the dawn prayer: “Say, O unbelievers” {Surat al-Kafiroon} and “Say: He is Allah, the one {Surat al-Ikhlas}.”
