سورة الملك

The Sovereignty

Al-Mulk | Sura # 67 | 30 verses | Makkan

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate and Most Merciful

تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ١

67:1 Blessed is He in Whose hands is the Kingdom of the Universe,  and He has power over all things.

الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ٢

67:2 (He is the One) Who created death and life in order to test which of you is best in deeds.  And He is the Almighty, All Forgiving.

الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا ۖ مَا تَرَىٰ فِي خَلْقِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ مِنْ تَفَاوُتٍ ۖ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَىٰ مِنْ فُطُورٍ٣

67:3 It is He who created seven heavens in complete harmony with one another. You will not see any discrepancy in the creation of the Most Compassionate (Allah).  Look again, do you see any flaws?

ثُمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌ٤

67:4 Then look again, and again, and your sight will return to you dazzled and exhausted.

وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَاهَا رُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ السَّعِيرِ٥

67:5 We have adorned the lowest sky with lamps, and made them missiles against the devils, for whom We have prepared a torment of most intense fire.

وَلِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ٦

67:6 And for those who disbelieve in their Lord, there will be the punishment of Hell, and worst indeed is that destination.

إِذَا أُلْقُوا فِيهَا سَمِعُوا لَهَا شَهِيقًا وَهِيَ تَفُورُ٧

67:7 As they are hurled into Hell, they would hear it shriek and scream (in anger); it would boil over furiously, as it blazes.

تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ الْغَيْظِ ۖ كُلَّمَا أُلْقِيَ فِيهَا فَوْجٌ سَأَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيرٌ٨

67:8 As though it would burst with fury. Every time a crowd is thrown into it, its wardens will ask,  'did no warner (Prophet) come to you?'

قَالُوا بَلَىٰ قَدْ جَاءَنَا نَذِيرٌ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِنْ أَنْتُمْ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ كَبِيرٍ٩

67:9 They will say : 'Yes indeed, a Warner did come to us, but we rejected him and said, Allah has never sent down anything (of revelation), you are only in great error.'

وَقَالُوا لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِي أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ١٠

67:10 They will say : 'If we had listened and been wise, we would not have been among the inmates of Hell.'

فَاعْتَرَفُوا بِذَنْبِهِمْ فَسُحْقًا لِأَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ١١

67:11 Then they will confess their sin. So, away (from the Mercy of Allah) will be the inmates of the blazing fire.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ١٢

67:12 Indeed, those in awe of their Lord without seeing Him will have forgiveness and a great reward.

وَأَسِرُّوا قَوْلَكُمْ أَوِ اجْهَرُوا بِهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ١٣

67:13 Whether you speak in secret or aloud, surely He is aware of all that is in the breasts.

أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ١٤

67:14 How could He not know His Own creation?  For He  is the Most Subtle, All Aware.

هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ ذَلُولًا فَامْشُوا فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا مِنْ رِزْقِهِ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ١٥

67:15 It is He who made the earth subservient to you that you may travel all around it, and eat of things He has provided; and to Him will be your Resurrection.

أَأَمِنْتُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَنْ يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ الْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَمُورُ١٦

67:16 Are you secure that He Who is in the Heavens will not make the earth swallow you while it quakes?

أَمْ أَمِنْتُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَنْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ نَذِيرِ١٧

67:17 Or are you confident that He who is in heavens would not unleash a violent storm of stones against you?  Then you will know how true My warning was.

وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ١٨

67:18 And indeed those before them denied, then see how terrible was My punishment?

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَافَّاتٍ وَيَقْبِضْنَ ۚ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا الرَّحْمَٰنُ ۚ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ بَصِيرٌ١٩

67:19 Do they not see the birds above them flying,  wings spread out or folded? Nothing holds them aloft but the Most Compassionate (Allah). All things are within His purview.

أَمَّنْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي هُوَ جُنْدٌ لَكُمْ يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ ۚ إِنِ الْكَافِرُونَ إِلَّا فِي غُرُورٍ٢٠

67:20 Do you have an army that can support you against the Most Compassionate (Allah)? In fact, the unbelievers are suffering from delusion.

أَمَّنْ هَٰذَا الَّذِي يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهُ ۚ بَلْ لَجُّوا فِي عُتُوٍّ وَنُفُورٍ٢١

67:21 Who is there that can provide you if He withholds His provision? Nay, they continue to be in pride and they flee (from the truth).

أَفَمَنْ يَمْشِي مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِ أَهْدَىٰ أَمَّنْ يَمْشِي سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ٢٢

67:22 Is he who walks, stumbles and falls on his face, better guided, or he who walks upright on a straight path?

قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۖ قَلِيلًا مَا تَشْكُرُونَ٢٣

67:23 Say, (O' People), 'It is He who brought you into being; and gave you hearing and vision and understanding. But you are rarely grateful.'

قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ٢٤

67:24 Say, 'It is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.'

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا الْوَعْدُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ٢٥

67:25 And they say, 'When will this promise (the Day of Resurrection) be fulfilled, if what you say is true?'

قُلْ إِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا نَذِيرٌ مُبِينٌ٢٦

67:26 Say (O' Prophet  ﷺ), 'The knowledge (of its exact time) is only with Allah, and I am a manifest Warner.'

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيئَتْ وُجُوهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَقِيلَ هَٰذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تَدَّعُونَ٢٧

67:27 But, when they will see it (the punishment on the Day of Resurrection) approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will change with sadness (turn black), and it will be said (to them) : 'This is the Promise which you were calling for!'

قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَهْلَكَنِيَ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ مَعِيَ أَوْ رَحِمَنَا فَمَنْ يُجِيرُ الْكَافِرِينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ٢٨

67:28 Say, (O Prophet  ﷺ),  'Consider this,  whether Allah causes me and those with me to die or shows us mercy, (but) who will save the disbelievers from a painful punishment?'

قُلْ هُوَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ آمَنَّا بِهِ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ٢٩

67:29 Say : Our Lord is the the Most Compassionate, in Him we have believed and in Him we have put our trust.   Soon you will find out, which one of us (we or you)  is in the manifest error.'

قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَاؤُكُمْ غَوْرًا فَمَنْ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِمَاءٍ مَعِينٍ٣٠

67:30 Say, 'Have you thought it over? Should (all) your (drinking) water sink underground (and disappear), who can supply you with springs and clean running water (to drink)?'
