So Sura Mulk is for the most arrogant of the most arrogant people. It is for this reason that this surah deals with the topics of tawbah in a very different way, without telling you to repent Allah causes you to repent without telling you. Allah (SWT) makes you repent. Why? Because you are filled with an understanding of the magnitude of Allah (SWT).
Then Allah (SWT) moves on to the 2nd page of Surah Mulk and talks about whether you believe in this or not; indeed, Allah will take you into account. Then he talks about the greatness of the signs of Allah. Talking about how many times Allah has done it for you. The earth and how Allah has outstretched it. The water that has been given to drink. He has made everything easy for us. The valleys that he has created for us in between the beautiful mountains are stakes in the ground.
Do you have a guarantee that Allah will not cause an earthquake right now? Do you have a guarantee that Allah will not cause the earth to tremble under you right now? Do you have a guarantee that you will not die right now when you leave outside? You have no guarantees. No one has a guarantee of the mockery of Allah except for those who disbelieve. So, we have no guarantee at all.
I met all of the 10 of the sahaban that were promised Jannah, the 10 Ashra Mubashshireen, and he said that every single one of the 10 Ashra Mubashshireen was afraid that they were hypocrites. Every single one of them was afraid that whatever good was happening around them was a mockery of Allah; just before they died, they might enter Jahannam. So they were all afraid, and so they led their lives in fear of Allah (SWT).
So, Allah (SWT) carries on, and he talks about how, if Allah does not help you, who will provide for you? Allah is the one who provides for the birds. So who will provide for you? Which army will provide for you? Which god will provide for you? How will you ever save yourselves? This is what Allah (SWT) talks about in the second part of the Surah Al-Mulk. In the last part of the surah mulk, which is the third page, Allah (SWT) talks about when you see Jahannam on that day.
O people, If I can punish Muhammad ﷺ and his family by giving him difficulty in this Dunya, what will prevent you from having difficulty in this dunya and the Aakhirah? Muhammad ﷺ, who is so close to Allah, yet Rasulullah ﷺ had difficulty in his life. Did he not? All his male children passed away. Many of his daughters passed away before him. His sahabah died before him. His beloved wife died before him. His uncle died before him. He was hit in battle. He had no food to eat for two months in a row sometimes, and he used to put stones on his stomach. Yet if Allah can put his most beloved into the most difficult situation, What is the guarantee? that you have that Allah will not punish you?
Allah Almighty started the Surah Mulk by saying as always he starts all the chapters with this wonderful starting, which means; [In the name of Allah, the most compassion, the most merciful]. Then Allah Almighty saids, تَبٰرَكَ الَّذِیْ بِیَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ٘- وَهُوَعَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرُ, which means [Blessed is he in whose hand is dominion, and he is over all thing competent], he can do everything and anything. So, what it means is that when it started the Surah by saying,تَبٰرَكَ الَّذِیْ بِیَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ٘- وَهُوَعَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرُ, Blessed is he, he is starring by blessing himself and glorifying himself and saying that all the barakah, all the blessing, all the mercy it comes from Allah Almighty.
He is also starting by glorifying himself by letting us know that he is the complete, he is the only one, he is the one who blesses other people, the blessings come from him, he is the source of the blessings, he is the source of barakah, and he is the one who gives all these barakah to everyone, and he is trying to tell us بِيَدِهِ ٱلْمُلْكُ in his hand the dominion of everything.
He is taking control of everything, he is taking control of the heaven and the earth, the skies and the earth, he is taking care of the sun and the moon, he is taking care of clouds and the rain and the wind, and every single thing is happening in this world. He is taken care of بِيَدِهِ ٱلْمُلْكُ, he is controlling over everything, and not only that, وَهُوَعَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرُ, he is able and capable to do anything and everything. As the scholar says, his command is between Kath and noon, which is kun between only two letters in Arabic, Kath and noon. He says something kun be, and it will be; he will not need time to make it; he will not read anything or anything; he does not need equipment or anything; he is the Lord who deserves to be worshipped.
First of all, he says,الَّذِیْ خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَیٰوةَ, he is the one who created death and life. Now even keep in mind that everything that Allah mentioned in the Quran, he mentioned it for hikmah, he mentioned it for some wisdom; there is wisdom behind it. So, what is the wisdom that Allah uses mouth first death first then life it should be the other way around right life and death, but no Allah says the one who created death and life. Why because Allah Almighty even created the death and we came out of nowhere we were actually before, you know where we were nowhere actually you know we were completely dead. Imagine that Allah Almighty in some other chapter says that, how you disbelieve in Allah Almighty and you were dead and he put you into life.
Surah Al Mulk is believed to have been revealed to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in Makkah during the early years of Islam. So it is a makki surah, and the surahs of Makkan origin are the surahs that deal a lot with the day of judgment, a lot with Jahannam, and a lot with Jannah.
Surah Mulk has 30 ayaats, so if you are a beginner, then you have to learn one ayaat every day. In one month, you can easily learn the full surah. But if you know about surah Tabarak or can easily memorize two or more ayyats, then I recommend you go for it and learn and make your Jannah in this dunya and prepare yourself for the day of judgment.
Surah Mulk is special because it is one of the most important Surahs in the Quran. It has many blessings and benefits, such as protecting against the punishment of the grave and interceding for the one who recites it until they are forgiven by Allah Almighty.
There are many authentic hadith that mention the blessings and rewards of reciting Surah Mulk. It states that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said that Surah Tabarak will intercede for the one who recites it until they are forgiven by Allah.
