7a. Is it permissible to have a favourite soorah of theQur’aan that one recites and listens to a great deal because it has an impact on the heart?

7a.
It was proven from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) that "Soorat al-Ikhlaas is equivalent to one third of the
Qur'aan." If this questioner loves to recite Soorah Maryam because of
what it contains of great and beneficial stories, and what it contains
of mention of the recompense of the Last Day, and denunciation of the
one who disbelieves and rejects the signs of Allah, and other
meanings,there is nothing wrong with that at all.
End quote from Fataawa Islamiyyah, 4/50
The point is that some parts of the Qur'aan may have a greater impact
on the heart, instilling fear or hope, than other verses or soorahs.
If the reader benefits from reciting that and has the habit of doingso
time after time, there isnothing wrong with it.
Rather what is not allowed is to think that a particular soorah or
verse has some spiritual virtue, or that the one who reads it will
have such and such reward, without that being based on any text ofthe
revelation.
Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
It is an innovation (bid'ah) to single out without any evidence, a
particular verse or soorah to be recited at a particular timeor in a
particular place or for a particular need./
