Waalaikum Salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh 🌼 No, it is *not required to stand* when reciting *Surah Al-Mulk* before sleeping. It can be recited: - While lying down, - Sitting, - Or standing — all are allowed. What matters is sincerity and consistency. The Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite it *before sleeping* for protection from the punishment of the grave (Hadith in Tirmidhi and Nasai).
