About Surah Al-Mulk
Al-Mulk (“The Sovereignty”), also known as Tabarak, reflects on Allah's power over creation and the accountability of every soul. Many Muslims recite it every night before sleeping.
In the hadith
- “There is a surah of the Quran of thirty verses which interceded for a man until he was forgiven: Tabarakalladhi biyadihil-mulk.” (Jami' at-Tirmidhi 2891 (hasan); Sunan Abi Dawud 1400)
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
تَبٰرَكَ الَّذِيْ بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُۖ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌۙ
Tabaarakal-ladzii biyadihil mulku wahuwa 'ala kulli syai-in qadiirun
Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion of the Universe, and Who has power over everything;
ۨالَّذِيْ خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيٰوةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ اَيُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًاۗ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْغَفُوْرُۙ
Al-ladzii khalaqal mauta wal hayaata liyabluwakum ai-yukum ahsanu 'amalaa wahuwal 'aziizul ghafuur(u)
Who created death and life that He might try you as to which of you is better in deed. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Forgiving;
الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ طِبَاقًاۗ مَا تَرٰى فِيْ خَلْقِ الرَّحْمٰنِ مِنْ تَفٰوُتٍۗ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَۙ هَلْ تَرٰى مِنْ فُطُوْرٍ
Al-ladzii khalaqa sab'a samaawaatin thibaaqan maa tara fii khalqir-rahmani min tafaawutin faarji'il bashara hal tara min futhuurin
Who created the seven heavens one upon another. You will see no incongruity in the Merciful One's creation. Turn your vision again, can you see any flaw?
ثُمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ اِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَّهُوَ حَسِيْرٌ
Tsummaarji'il bashara karrataini yanqalib ilaikal basharu khaasi-an wahuwa hasiirun
Then turn your vision again, and then again; in the end your vision will come back to you, worn out and frustrated.
وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاۤءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيْحَ وَجَعَلْنٰهَا رُجُوْمًا لِّلشَّيٰطِيْنِ وَاَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ السَّعِيْرِ
Walaqad zai-yannaassamaa-addunyaa bimashaabiiha waja'alnaahaa rujuuman li-sysyayaathiini wa-a'tadnaa lahum 'adzaabassa'iir(i)
We have adorned the lower heaven with lamps, and have made them a means to drive away the satans. We have prepared for them the chastisement of the Blazing Fire.
وَلِلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَۗ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ
Walil-ladziina kafaruu birabbihim 'adzaabu jahannama wabi-asal mashiir(u)
The chastisement of Hell awaits those who disbelieve in their Lord. What a wretched destination!
اِذَآ اُلْقُوْا فِيْهَا سَمِعُوْا لَهَا شَهِيْقًا وَّهِيَ تَفُوْرُۙ
Idzaa ulquu fiihaa sami'uu lahaa syahiiqan wahiya tafuur(u)
When they will be cast into it, they will hear it roar as it boils,
تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ الْغَيْظِۗ كُلَّمَآ اُلْقِيَ فِيْهَا فَوْجٌ سَاَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَآ اَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيْرٌۙ
Takaadu tamai-yazu minal ghaizhi kullamaa ulqiya fiihaa faujun saalahum khazanatuhaa alam ya'tikum nadziirun
as though it will burst with rage. Every time a multitude is cast into it, its keepers will ask them: “Did no warner come to you?”
قَالُوْا بَلٰى قَدْ جَاۤءَنَا نَذِيْرٌ ەۙ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍۖ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ كَبِيْرٍ
Qaaluuu bala qad jaa-anaa nadziirun fakadz-dzabnaa waqulnaa maa nazzalallahu min syai-in in antum ilaa fii dhalalin kabiirin
They will say: “Yes, a warner came to us, but we gave the lie to him and said: 'Allah has revealed nothing. You are surely in huge error.'
وَقَالُوْا لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ اَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِيْٓ اَصْحٰبِ السَّعِيْرِ
Waqaaluuu lau kunnaa nasma'u au na'qilu maa kunnaa fii ashhaabissa'iir(i)
They will say: 'If we had only listened and understood, we would not be among the inmates of the Blazing Fire.'”
فَاعْتَرَفُوْا بِذَنْۢبِهِمْۚ فَسُحْقًا لِّاَصْحٰبِ السَّعِيْرِ
Faa'tarafuu bidzanbihim fasuhqan ashhaabissa'iir(i)
Thus will they confess their sins. Damned are these inmates of the Blazing Fire.
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ كَبِيْرٌ
Innal-ladziina yakhsyauna rabbahum bil ghaibi lahum maghfiratun wa-ajrun kabiirun
Surely forgiveness and a mighty reward await those who fear Allah without seeing Him.
وَاَسِرُّوْا قَوْلَكُمْ اَوِ اجْهَرُوْا بِهٖۗ اِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌ ۢبِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ
Wa-asirruu qaulakum awiijharuu bihi innahu 'aliimun bidzaatish-shuduur(i)
Whether you speak in secrecy or aloud, (it is all the same to Allah). He even knows the secrets that lie hidden in the breasts of people.
اَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَۗ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيْفُ الْخَبِيْرُ ࣖ
Alaa ya'lamu man khalaqa wahuwallathiiful khabiir(u)
Would He not know, He Who has created, when He is All-Subtle, All-Aware?
هُوَ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ ذَلُوْلًا فَامْشُوْا فِيْ مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوْا مِنْ رِّزْقِهٖۗ وَاِلَيْهِ النُّشُوْرُ
Huwal-ladzii ja'ala lakumul ardha dzaluulaa faamsyuu fii manaakibihaa wakuluu min rizqihi wa-ilaihinnusyuur(u)
He it is Who made the earth subservient to you. So traverse in its tracks and partake of the sustenance He has provided. To Him will you be resurrected.
ءَاَمِنْتُمْ مَّنْ فِى السَّمَاۤءِ اَنْ يَّخْسِفَ بِكُمُ الْاَرْضَ فَاِذَا هِيَ تَمُوْرُۙ
Aamintum man fiissamaa-i an yakhsifa bikumul ardha fa-idzaa hiya tamuur(u)
Do you feel secure that He Who is in the heaven will not cause the earth to cave in with you, and then suddenly it will begin to rock violently?
اَمْ اَمِنْتُمْ مَّنْ فِى السَّمَاۤءِ اَنْ يُّرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًاۗ فَسَتَعْلَمُوْنَ كَيْفَ نَذِيْرِ
Am amintum man fiissamaa-i an yursila 'alaikum haashiban fasata'lamuuna kaifa nadziir(i)
Do you feel secure that He Who is in the heaven will not let loose upon you a storm of stones? Then shall you know what My warning is like!
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيْرِ
Walaqad kadz-dzabal-ladziina min qablihim fakaifa kaana nakiir(i)
Those who came before them also gave the lie (to the Messengers): then how awesome was My chastisement!
اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اِلَى الطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صٰۤفّٰتٍ وَّيَقْبِضْنَۘ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ اِلَّا الرَّحْمٰنُۗ اِنَّهٗ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍۢ بَصِيْرٌ
Awalam yarau ilath-thairi fauqahum shaaffaatin wayaqbidhna maa yumsikuhunna ilaar-rahmanu innahu bikulli syai-in bashiirun
Have they not seen birds above them spreading and closing their wings, with none holding them except the Merciful One? He oversees everything.
اَمَّنْ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ هُوَ جُنْدٌ لَّكُمْ يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ الرَّحْمٰنِۗ اِنِ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ اِلَّا فِيْ غُرُوْرٍۚ

اَمَّنْ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ يَرْزُقُكُمْ اِنْ اَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهٗ ۚ بَلْ لَّجُّوْا فِيْ عُتُوٍّ وَّنُفُوْرٍ
Am man hadzaal-ladzii yarzuqukum in amsaka rizqahu bal lajjuu fii 'utuu-win wanufuurin
Who shall provide for you if He withholds His sustenance? Nay; but they persist in rebellion and aversion.
اَفَمَنْ يَّمْشِيْ مُكِبًّا عَلٰى وَجْهِهٖٓ اَهْدٰىٓ اَمَّنْ يَّمْشِيْ سَوِيًّا عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ
Afaman yamsyii mukibban 'ala wajhihi ahda am man yamsyii sawii-yan 'ala shiraathin mustaqiimin
Who is better guided: he who walks grovelling on his face, or he who walks upright on a Straight Path?
