Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (Allah be pleased with him) reported that “ Surah Al-Mulk is Maani’a (it holds back the punishment of Allah Almighty). It is reported on the authority of Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (Allah be pleased with him) that “ the one who recites Surah Al-Mulk every night will be protected from the difficulties of the grave and also the one who punctually recites it.” It is reported in the hadith collection Muwatta Imam Malik that Surah Al-Ikhlas is equal to a third of the Holy Qur’an, and Surah Al-Mulk intercedes for its possessor (i.e., reciter). It intercedes for a person, until he is forgiven, and that Surah is Tabaara kallazee biyadi hil mulk (i.e Surah Mulk).” It is reported on the authority of Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Allah be pleased with him) that the beloved Holy Prophet (peace be upon him, his family and companions) said “Verily, there is a Surah in the Holy Qur’an comprising of thirty verses. In other words, it intercedes for the one who recites it and for the one for whom it is recited. Surah Al-Mulk makes intercession (Shafa’ah) for the believers. It is reported regarding Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) that he said “ Personally, recite Surah Al-Mulk and teach it to your wife, children and to all the other children who live in your home, and even to your neighbours, because it is that which grants salvation, and it will firmly demand (for your) salvation from Allah.” Surah Al-Mulk is the Surah which intercedes for its reciters the Surah which gives salvation from the torment of the grave the Surah which protects its reciter the Surah we have been instructed to recite ourselves and to teach to our families. It is “the Saviour (Al-Munjiyah)” because it saves its reciter and possessor from entering the Hell Fire and IT IS THE CONTENTIOUS (AL-MUJAADILAH) BECAUSE ON THE DAY OF RECKONING IT WILL ARGUE WITH ALLAH ALMIGHTY TO ENSURE ITS RECITER AND POSSESSOR IS GRANTED ENTRANCE IN TO PARADISE. It is “the Preventive (Al-Maani’)” because it prevents the punishment of the grave from harming its reciter and possessor.

It is “the Protective (Al-Waaqiyah)” because it protects the person who recites it and possesses it in his heart. It is situated in the 29 th portion (juz) of the Holy Qur’an. Surah Al-Mulk is the 67 th Surah of the Holy Qur’an. In Allah’s Name we begin, The Compassionate, The Most Merciful
