Recommended Quranic Verses for Morning Remembrances

Numerous hadiths emphasize the importance of reciting certain verses and chapters of the Quran in the morning. Here are some notable ones:

• Allah, the Exalted, says: (Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great).

• Surah Al-Falaq, Allah says: (Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak from the evil of that which He created and from the evil of darkness when it settles and from the evil of the blowers in knots and from the evil of an envious when he envies.”)[21]
• Surah An-Nas, Allah says: (Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, the Sovereign of mankind, the God of mankind, from the evil of the sneaking whisperer who withdraws, who whispers in the breasts of mankind, among jinn and among mankind.”)[22]
