Q 2: What is
the ruling on always reciting specific Surahs (chapters of the Qur’an) consistently on Friday Fajr (Dawn) Prayer, as our Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer), for example, only recites the Surahs Al-Duha and Al-Sharh?
A:
It is an act of Sunnah (supererogatory act of worship following the example of the Prophet) to recite Surah Al-Sajdah in the first Rak`ah (unit of Salah) of the Friday Fajr Prayer and in the second Rak`ah Surah Al-Insan which starts by:
Has there not been over man a period of time
and to recite in the Jumu`ah (Friday) Prayer Surahs Al-A`la and Al-Ghashiyah, Surahs Al-Jumu`ah and Al-Munafiqun, or Surah Al-Insan which starts by:
Has there not been over man a period of time
after reciting Surah Al-Fatihah. As for continually reciting Surahs Al-Duha and Al-Sharh, as mentioned in the question, this is not in agreement with the Sunnah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
