Answer:
Which surah to
recite daily
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 73 Surah
Muzammil verse 20:
20 The Lord doth know that thou (O Prophet (saws)) standest forth (in
prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the
night, and so doth a party of those with thee. But Allah doth appoint Night and
Day in due measure. He knoweth that ye
are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy): recite
ye therefore of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among you
in ill-health; others traveling through the land seeking of Allah's bounty; yet
others fighting in Allah's Cause. Read
ye therefore as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and
establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a
Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye
send forth for your souls Ye shall find it in Allah's presence yea better and
greater in Reward. And seek ye the Grace of Allah: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving
Most Merciful.
Time and time again Allah Subhanah and His Messenger
(saws) guided the believers to recite as much of the Glorious Quran as was easy
and convenient for them…and the general practice of the noble companions of the
Prophet (saws) was to recite the Glorious Quran from its start to its finish
once in at least seven days.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
2137 Narrated by Abdullah ibn
Mas'ud
Allah's Messenger
(saws) said, "If anyone recites a letter from Allah's Book he will be
credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a tenfold reward. I do not say that ‘Alif-Lam-Mim’ are one
letter, but ‘alif’ is a letter, ‘lam’ is a letter and ‘mim’ is a letter."
Your Question: ….I

is that and What is the reward if one recite daily?
Respected brother in Islam, although the general guidance
of Allah and His Messenger (saws) was to recite the Glorious Quran from its
start to its finish….there are indeed some verses or small Surahs of the Quran
which the Messenger of Allah (saws) guided and encouraged the believers to
recite on a daily basis:
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2173 Narrated by Jubayr ibn Nufayr
Allah's Messenger (saws) 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 a approach (to Allah) and a
supplication."
Abu Umamah
reported that the Prophet (saws) said, "….For whoever recites the ‘Aayat
–ul Kursi’ (Surah 2 al-Baqarah 255) at
the end of every prayer, nothing will prevent him from entering

Abu Sa'id reported
that the Prophet (saws) asked, "Can anyone of you recite a third of the
Qur'an during the night?" The companions
considered this rather difficult and they said, "Who among us can do so, O
Messenger of Allah (saws)?" Thereupon
the Prophet (saws) said, "(Say:) He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the
Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is he begotten; and there is none like
unto Him.'' (The reference here is to
the recitation of Surah 112 Suratul Ikhlaas of the Qur'an, which the Prophet
(saws) described as equivalent to reciting one-third of the Qur'an.)

Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 6.536A Narrated by Aisha
Whenever the
Prophet (saws) retired to bed every night, he (saws) used to cup his hands
together and blow over it after reciting Surah Al-Ikhlaas, Surah Al-Falaq and
Surah An-Naas, and then rub his hands over whatever parts of his body he was
able to rub, starting with his head, face and front of his body. He (saws) used to do that three times.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.

well wisher in Islam,
