سورة الملك
مكية | رکوع: ٢ | آیات: ٣٠
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
تَبَـٰرَكَ ٱلَّذِى بِيَدِهِ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌ ١
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَٱلْحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًۭا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٢
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَٰتٍۢ طِبَاقًۭا ۖ مَّا تَرَىٰ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مِن تَفَـٰوُتٍۢ ۖ فَٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٍۢ ٣
ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًۭا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌۭ ٤
وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِمَصَـٰبِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَـٰهَا رُجُومًۭا لِّلشَّيَـٰطِينِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ٥
وَلِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ٦
إِذَآ أُلْقُوا۟ فِيهَا سَمِعُوا۟ لَهَا شَهِيقًۭا وَهِىَ تَفُورُ ٧
تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْظِ ۖ كُلَّمَآ أُلْقِىَ فِیہَا فَوْجٌۭ سَأَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَآ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيرٌۭ ٨
قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ قَدْ جَآءَنَا نَذِيرٌۭ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَـٰلٍۢ كَبِيرٍۢ ٩
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِىٓ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ١٠
فَاعْتَرَفُوا۟ بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسُحْقًۭا لِّأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ١١
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَيْبِ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌۭ وَأَجْرٌۭ كَبِيرٌۭ ١٢
وَأَسِرُّوا۟ قَوْلَكُمْ أَوِ ٱجْهَرُوا۟ بِهِۦٓ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ١٣
أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ ٱللَّطِيفُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ ١٤
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ ذَلُولًۭا فَٱمْشُوا۟ فِى مَنَاكِبِهَا وَکُلُوا۟ مِن رِّزْقِهِۦ ۖ وَإِلَيْهِ ٱلنُّشُورُ ١٥
ءَأَمِنتُم مَّن فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَمُورُ ١٦
أَمْ أَمِنتُم مَّن فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ أَن يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًۭا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ کَيْفَ نَذِيرِ ١٧
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَکَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ ١٨
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَـٰٓفَّـٰتٍۢ وَيَقْبِضْنَ ۚ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِکُلِّ شَىْءٍۭ بَصِيرٌ ١٩
أَمَّنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ جُندٌۭ لَّكُمْ يَنصُرُكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۚ إِنِ ٱلْکَـٰفِرُونَ إِلَّا فِى غُرُورٍ ٢٠
أَمَّنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى يَرْزُقُكُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَکَ رِزْقَهُۥ ۚ بَل لَّجُّوا۟ فِى عُتُوٍّۢ وَنُفُورٍ ٢١
أَفَمَن يَمْشِى مُکِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦٓ أَهْدَىٰٓ أَمَّن يَمْشِى سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ ٢٢
قُلْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَکُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَکُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۖ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَشْکُرُونَ ٢٣
قُلْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِى ذَرَأَکُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ ٢٤
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن کُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ٢٥
قُلْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْعِلْمُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ٢٦
فَلَمَّا رأَوْهُ زُلْفَةًۭ سِيٓـَٔتْ وُجُوهُ ٱلَّذِينَ کَفَرُوا۟ وَقِيلَ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى کُنتُم بِهِۦ تَدَّعُونَ ٢٧
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَهْلَکَنِىَ ٱللَّهُ وَمَن مَّعِىَ أَوْ رَحِمَنَا فَمَن يُجِيرُ ٱلْکَـٰفِرِينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍۢ ٢٨
قُلْ هُوَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَکَّلْنَا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ٢٩
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَآؤُکُمْ غَوْرًۭا فَمَن يَأْتِيکُم بِمَآءٍۢ مَّعِينٍۭ ٣٠

Surah e Mulk with Urdu & English Translation
Reciting the Holy Quran in its original Arabic brings immense blessings and rewards, but truly understanding Allah’s message is what transforms the world of the heart. This Surah is not merely a chapter to be recited at night; it is a means to awaken the human soul and a complete system for understanding our lives.
This magnificent Surah takes the reciter on a spiritual journey. It invites the human intellect to ponder upon the flawless creation of the seven (7) heavens, reminds us that life and death are simply a test to see who is best in deeds, and describes the reality of the Hereafter with absolute clarity. It shatters the illusions of this world and establishes Allah’s complete and unrivalled dominion over the entire universe.
For those who do not know Arabic, a clear and authentic translation is an excellent pathway to understanding these powerful themes.

Benefits and Virtues (Fazilat) of Reading Surah Al-Mulk
This Surah holds a very special and magnificent position in the Holy Quran. It is a Surah that is full of profound blessings, mercy, and Allah’s protection. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) heavily emphasised the daily recitation of this beautiful Surah and promised extraordinary spiritual and everlasting rewards for those who make it a part of their lives.
Here are some of the prominent and life-changing benefits of reciting this Surah:
- Protection in the Grave (Al-Mani’a): This Surah is often called “The Defender” or “The Shield.” It acts as a strong physical and spiritual protector. According to authentic hadiths, it will protect its daily reciter from the trials and punishment of the grave, standing as a strong wall against hardship.
- Intercession on the Day of Judgment (Shafa’at): Imagine a Surah of the Quran fighting your case in the presence of Allah! This Surah has been described as a companion that will continuously plead and intercede for the forgiveness of the person who recites and ponders upon it. It will not stop advocating for its reciter until Allah grants them complete forgiveness.
- Following a Beautiful Sunnah: Including this Surah in your daily life means reviving a beloved and peaceful Sunnah. It was the firm routine of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) that he would never sleep until he had recited Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Mulk.
Making the recitation of this Surah a nightly habit takes only a few minutes, but the spiritual peace, mental clarity, and everlasting benefits it brings are absolutely priceless. We have mentioned only a few benefits here; if you want to know more about its immense benefits and virtues, visit our Benefits & Virtues page, where you will find them detailed in 2 languages.
How to memorise Surah e Mulk easily?
If you follow these 5 steps of ours, you can easily memorise this Surah:
- Listen Before Reading: Before memorising a new verse, listen to a clear audio recitation of it (such as by Sheikh Mishary Alafasy) 5 to 10 times. Through this, the correct pronunciation and tone will automatically settle into your mind.
- The 1-Verse Rule: Listen to 1 verse first, then read it while looking at it 5 to 10 times. Once it is memorised, then read it without looking 5 to 10 times.
- Connect the Verses Together: When you have memorised the first and second verse, recite them together from memory before moving on to the third. This will create a strong sequence in your mind.
- Understand the Meaning: Always make sure to read the translation. When you know the meaning of the Arabic words, your mind creates a story. This makes memorisation much easier and reduces the fear of forgetting.
- Recite in Prayers (Salah): The best way to remember is to recite the Surah in your Sunnah or Nawafil prayers after you have memorised it.
The best time for this practice is during Tahajjud or the 30 to 40 minutes immediately after Fajr, when your mind is completely fresh and free from worldly thoughts.
Why Memorise Surah Mulk?
After memorising this Surah properly once, you will not need to repeatedly pick up the Mushaf or search for it. You can recite it comfortably whenever and wherever you want, and besides this, memorising the Holy Quran is also a great act of worship.
On the Day of Judgment, the one who memorises the Holy Quran will be told to recite the Quran and keep ascending to their destination in Jannah (Paradise). Then, wherever he stops reciting, that will be his destination. And who knows, after memorising Surah Al-Mulk, Allah may bestow His grace upon us, and we might gradually memorise the entire Quran as well.
