Surah Al Mulk English Translation
“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
-
Blessed is He in whose hand is the sovereignty, and He is capable of all things.
-
The One who created death and life to test you as to which of you is best in deed. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving,
-
Who created the seven heavens, one above the other. You will not see any flaw in the creation of the Most Gracious. So look again: do you see any faults?
-
Then look again and again. Your sight will return to you humbled and weary.
-
And certainly, We have adorned the nearest heaven with stars and have made them a deterrent against the devils. We have prepared for them the torment of the blazing Fire.
-
And for those who disbelieve in their Lord is the punishment of Hell; and what an evil destination!
-
When they are thrown into it, they will hear it roaring while it boils.
-
It almost bursts with rage. Every time a group is thrown into it, its keepers will ask them: ‘Did there not come to you a warner?’
-
They will say: ‘Yes, surely a warner came to us, but we denied and said: “Allah has not revealed anything; you are only in great error.”‘
-
And they will say: ‘Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire.’
-
So they will acknowledge their sins. But far removed from mercy are the dwellers of the blazing Fire.
-
Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and a great reward.
-
Whether you conceal your speech or reveal it, indeed, He is Knowing of that which is within the breasts.
-
Should He not know, who created? And He is the Subtle, the Acquainted.
-
It is He who made the earth tame for you, so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision. And to Him is the resurrection.
-
Do you feel secure that He who is above the heavens will not cause the earth to swallow you while it sways?
-
Or do you feel secure that He who is above the heavens will not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how severe was My warning.
-
And already had those before them denied, and how [terrible] was My reproach.
-
Do they not see the birds above them, spreading and folding their wings? None upholds them except the Most Merciful. Indeed, He is, of all things, Seeing.
-
Or who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful? The disbelievers are not but in delusion.
-
Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.
-
Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?
-
Say, ‘It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.’
-
Say, ‘It is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.’
-
And they say, ‘When is this promise, if you should be truthful?’
-
Say, ‘Knowledge is only with Allah, and I am only a clear warner.’
-
But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, ‘This is that for which you used to call.’
-
Say, ‘Have you considered: whether Allah should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?’
-
Say, ‘He is the Most Merciful; we have believed in Him, and upon Him we have relied. And you will [come to] know who it is that is in clear error.’
-
Say, ‘Have you considered: if your water was to become sunken [into the earth], then who could bring you flowing water?'”
