Meaning: The Dominion
Total Ayahs: 30
Place of Revelation: Mecca
Surah Al-Mulk begins with profound glorification of Allah, reminding believers that sovereignty over life and death, honor and disgrace, lies solely with Him. It urges contemplation of the seven perfect heavens and their flawless design, highlighting Allah’s mastery. The Surah then warns of severe punishment prepared for disbelievers in Hell, vividly describing regret in the Hereafter. It contrasts those who fear Allah unseen and receive forgiveness with arrogant deniers who reject divine signs. It culminates with a reminder: the Merciful alone is the ultimate refuge on the Day of Resurrection.
Awe and recognition of Allah’s absolute dominion should inspire humility, constant remembrance, and living with the Hereafter in view. Believers must reflect on creation to deepen faith and reliance on Allah alone.
Reciting Al-Mulk offers protection from the punishment of the grave and intercession on the Day of Judgment. It brings peace of mind, strengthens Iman and Taqwa, motivates gratitude, highlights life’s fragility, and continually invites remembrance of Allah—all backed by Prophetic teachings.
67:2 "الَّذِى خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ..."; 67:19 "أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ..."
Think beyond the material world, prepare for the Afterlife, and root your life in reverence and ethical accountability.
