Virtues of Recitation of Surah Al Mulk:

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that:
I heard the Messenger of Allah () saying, "There is a Surah in the Qur'an which contains thirty Ayat which kept interceding for a man until his sins are forgiven. This Surah is 'Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion.

Hazrat yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Humayd ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf had told him that Surat al-Ikhlas (Surah 112) was equal to a third of the Qur'an, and that Surah al-Mulk (Surah 67) pleaded for its owner. Reference

Narrated Hazrat Ibn Abbas:

"One of the Companions of the Prophet () put up a tent upon a grave without knowing that it was a grave. When he realized that is was a person's grave, he recited Surat Al-Mulk until its completion. Then he went to the Prophet () and said: 'O Messenger of Allah () [Indeed] I erected my tent without realizing that it was upon a grave. So when I realized there was a person in it I recited Surat Al-Mulk until its completion.' So the Prophet () said: "It (Surah Al-Mulk) is a prevention, it is a salvation delivering from the punishment of the grave. Reference


From the above Hadith, Surah Al-Mulk is also a preventive, and assists in delivering from the punishment of the grave.

Point to ponder:

From the above Hadith , Surah Al-Mulk will negotiate for its reciters (those who recites this chapters often) on the Day of Judgement until its reciter is forgiven by Allah (SWT) therefore this is the time to revert to Quran.
As there are lots of publication online and offline (in the forms of book) which you can access but the actual things and rewards comes from doing somethings practice.

Closing Thoughts


In short it will be easy enough to say that, Quran Recitation earns reward for you its understanding is a source of great advice and living a life according to Qur`an will provide you successful life and hereafter
