Why Do Muslims Recite the Last 10 Surahs Frequently?

Muslims often recite the last ten Surahs of the Qur’an because they are short, easy to memorize, and full of spiritual meaning. These surahs strengthen faith in Allah ﷻ, remind believers of His power and mercy, and protect them from harm through divine guidance. Surahs like Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas are recited as ruqyah, seeking refuge from evil, envy, and the whispers of Shaytan. Others, like Al-Kawthar and An-Nasr, remind us of Allah’s abundance, blessings, and promised victory.

These chapters are recited daily in salah (prayer) and are usually the first ones children learn in their Qur’an studies. Their short length makes them easy to remember, but their messages build tawheed (oneness of Allah), gratitude, and spiritual strength. By reciting them regularly, Muslims build a spiritual shield, stay mindful of Allah ﷻ, and carry reminders of guidance, mercy, and protection in everyday life.
