10 Benefits of Practicing Surah Al-Mulk

In this section, we will explain to you 10 benefits you can attain by practicing this surah.

 

Protection from the Torment of the Grave

  • The first benefit is that the reciter will be spared from the torment of the grave. This can be seen in the saying of Prophet Muhammad (SAW): “Surah Al-Mulk protects and saves its reciter from the torment of the grave.”

     

Assistance in Entering Paradise

  • In addition to protecting the reciter from the torment of the grave, this surah will also assist us in entering Paradise.
  • The Prophet (SAW) said: “Indeed, in the Quran, there is a surah consisting of 30 verses. That surah is Surah Al-Mulk. It will come to its reciter’s aid in questioning in the grave until they safely enter Paradise.”

     

Rescued from Hellfire and Entered into Paradise

  • This is also a benefit unknown to many Muslims. If you practice this surah, you will be entered into Paradise.
  • The Prophet (SAW) said: “Among the surahs in the Quran, there is a surah consisting of 30 verses. That surah is Surah Al-Mulk. It intercedes for the one who recites it, rescuing them from Hellfire and admitting them to Paradise.”

     

Following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)

  • We are taught to always practice the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). If you recite this surah before sleeping, you are following his Sunnah.
  • “Indeed, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) would not sleep until he recited Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Mulk.”

     

Substitute during Questioning with Munkar and Nakir

  • If we consistently practice this surah at night, it will serve as a substitute when we are questioned by Munkar and Nakir.
  • Regarding this matter, the Prophet (SAW) said: “Whoever recites Surah Al-Mulk every night, it will come to them in the grave as a substitute for questioning by Munkar and Nakir.”

     

Brightened Face on the Day of Judgment like Prophet Yusuf

  • If you regularly recite this surah in your daily life, Allah will brighten your face on the Day of Judgment, just like Prophet Yusuf.
  • This can be seen in the statement of Sayyidina Ali: “Whoever practices Surah Al-Mulk will be brought on the Day of Judgment on the wings of angels, with a beautiful face like that of Prophet Yusuf.”

     

Forgiveness of the Reader’s Sins

  • In addition to the rewards of reciting this surah, Allah SWT will also forgive the sins of those who consistently practice its recitation until the end of the surah. “Some parts of the Quran contain a surah consisting of thirty verses, and this surah can provide assistance to those who recite it, resulting in the forgiveness of all their sins. That surah is ‘Al-Mulk’.” (Hadith narrated by Abu Daud and at-Tirmizi, and its status is Hadith Hasan)

     

Faithful Heart

  • The Prophet (SAW) also said that our hearts will become faithful if we study and recite this surah consistently. He said: “I desire that Surah Al-Mulk be in the heart of every believer.” “I am pleased if a believer recites Surah Al-Mulk constantly until it is as if the surah is written in their heart.”

     

Loved and Cared for by Others

  • If we regularly practice this noble surah, we will feel loved and cared for by the people around us. This can be seen in the statement of scholars: “Indeed, Surah Yasin and Surah Al-Mulk contain several secrets and virtues. Whoever practices them will gain those secrets and virtues, be loved by all human beings, and be esteemed in the eyes of creation.”

     

Protection from Punishment

  • When the angels Munkar and Nakir come to question us, humans may faint upon seeing the faces of the punishing angels. However, for those who practice Surah Al-Mulk, it will serve as a barrier against punishment.
  • This can be seen in the following narration: “O Messenger of Allah, I was digging the ground, unaware that it was a grave, and I found a man reciting Surah Al-Mulk until its completion.” The Prophet (SAW) replied, “That surah is a protector and savior that saves its reciter from the torment of the grave.”

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

 

1. تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

 

2. الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ

 

3. الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا ۖ مَا تَرَىٰ فِي خَلْقِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ مِنْ تَفَاوُتٍ ۖ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَىٰ مِنْ فُطُورٍ

 

4. ثُمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌ

 

5. وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَاهَا رُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ السَّعِيرِ

 

6. وَلِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ

 

7. إِذَا أُلْقُوا فِيهَا سَمِعُوا لَهَا شَهِيقًا وَهِيَ تَفُورُ

 

8. تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ الْغَيْظِ ۖ كُلَّمَا أُلْقِيَ فِيهَا فَوْجٌ سَأَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيرٌ

 

9. قَالُوا بَلَىٰ قَدْ جَاءَنَا نَذِيرٌ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِنْ أَنْتُمْ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ كَبِيرٍ

 

10. وَقَالُوا لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِي أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ

 

11. فَاعْتَرَفُوا بِذَنْبِهِمْ فَسُحْقًا لِأَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ

 

12. إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ

 

13. وَأَسِرُّوا قَوْلَكُمْ أَوِ اجْهَرُوا بِهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

 

14. أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ

 

15. هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ ذَلُولًا فَامْشُوا فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا مِنْ رِزْقِهِ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ

 

16. أَأَمِنْتُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَنْ يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ الْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَمُورُ

 

17. أَمْ أَمِنْتُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَنْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ نَذِيرِ

 

18. وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ

 

19. أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَافَّاتٍ وَيَقْبِضْنَ ۚ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا الرَّحْمَٰنُ ۚ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ بَصِيرٌ

 

20. أَمَّنْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي هُوَ جُنْدٌ لَكُمْ يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ ۚ إِنِ الْكَافِرُونَ إِلَّا فِي غُرُورٍ

 

21. أَمَّنْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهُ ۚ بَلْ لَجُّوا فِي عُتُوٍّ وَنُفُورٍ

 

22. أَفَمَنْ يَمْشِي مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِ أَهْدَىٰ أَمَّنْ يَمْشِي سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ

 

23. قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۖ قَلِيلًا مَا تَشْكُرُونَ

 

24. قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

 

25. وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا الْوَعْدُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

 

26. قُلْ إِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ

 

27. فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيئَتْ وُجُوهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَقِيلَ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تَدَّعُونَ

 

28. قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَهْلَكَنِيَ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ مَعِيَ أَوْ رَحِمَنَا فَمَنْ يُجِيرُ الْكَافِرِينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

 

29. قُلْ هُوَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ آمَنَّا بِهِ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ

 

30. قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَاؤُكُمْ غَوْرًا فَمَنْ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِمَاءٍ مَعِينٍ

Surah Mulk Translation in English

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

 

  1. Blessed be He in Whose hands is Dominion; and He over all things hath Power;-

     

  2. He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving;-

     

  3. He Who created the seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of (Allah) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: seest thou any flaw?

     

  4. Again turn thy vision a second time: (thy) vision will come back to thee dull and discomfited, in a state worn out.

     

  5. And we have, (from of old), adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps, and We have made such (Lamps) (as) missiles to drive away the Evil Ones, and have prepared for them the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.

     

  6. For those who reject their Lord (and Cherisher) is the Penalty of Hell: and evil is (such), Destination.

     

  7. When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath even as it blazes forth,

     

  8. Almost bursting with fury: Every time a Group is cast therein, its Keepers will ask, “Did no Warner come to you?”

     

  9. They will say: “Yes indeed; a Warner did come to us, but we rejected him and said, ´Allah never sent down any (Message): ye are nothing but an egregious delusion!´”

     

  10. They will further say: “Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we should not (now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!”

     

  11. They will then confess their sins: but far will be (Forgiveness) from the Companions of the Blazing Fire!

     

  12. As for those who fear their Lord unseen, for them is Forgiveness and a great Reward.

     

  13. And whether ye hide your word or publish it, He certainly has (full) knowledge, of the secrets of (all) hearts.

     

  14. Should He not know,- He that created? and He is the One that understands the finest mysteries (and) is well-acquainted (with them).

     

  15. It is He Who has made the earth manageable for you, so traverse ye through its tracts and enjoy of the Sustenance which He furnishes: but unto Him is the Resurrection.

     

  16. Do ye feel secure that He Who is in heaven will not cause you to be swallowed up by the earth when it shakes (as in an earthquake)?

     

  17. Or do ye feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent tornado (with showers of stones), so that ye shall know how (terrible) was My warning?

     

  18. But indeed men before them rejected (My warning): then how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)?

     

  19. Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None can uphold them except (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly it is He that watches over all things.

     

  20. Nay, who is there that can help you, (even as) an army, besides (Allah) Most Merciful? In nothing but delusion are the Unbelievers.

     

  21. Or who is there that can provide you with Sustenance if He were to withhold His provision? Nay, they obstinately persist in insolent impiety and flight (from the Truth).

     

  22. Is then one who walks headlong, with his face grovelling, better guided,- or one who walks evenly on a Straight Way?

     

  23. Say: “It is He Who has created you (and made you grow), and made for you the faculties of hearing, seeing, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give.

     

  24. Say: “It is He Who has multiplied you through the earth, and to Him shall ye be gathered together.”

     

  25. They ask: When will this promise be (fulfilled)? – If ye are telling the truth.

     

  26. Say: “As to the knowledge of the time, it is with Allah alone: I am (sent) only to warn plainly in public.”

     

  27. At length, when they see it close at hand, grieved will be the faces of the Unbelievers, and it will be said (to them): “This is (the promise fulfilled), which ye were calling for!”

     

  28. Say: “See ye?- If Allah were to destroy me, and those with me, or if He bestows His Mercy on us,- yet who can deliver the Unbelievers from a grievous Penalty?”

     

  29. Say: “He is (Allah) Most Gracious: We have believed in Him, and on Him have we put our trust: So, soon will ye know which (of us) it is that is in manifest error.”

     

  30. Say: See ye?- If your stream be some morning lost (in the underground earth), who then can supply you with clear-flowing water?
