Keep reading to know more about surat al Mulk and the best time to read it.
Surah Mulk or al-Mulk is the 67th chapter (Surah) of the Holy Quran. It’s titled in English as “Sovereignty” or “Kingdom.” It’s a Meccan Surah that underlines that no one person has the authority to force his will on another; he can only guide and provide an example.
This surah is part of the seventh set of surahs, which begins with surat al Mulk (67) and continues until the conclusion of the Quran; Surah An-Nas.
The arrangement of several surahs in this group eventually brings the topic of warning to a close.
Reciting Surah Mulk has more benefits than you could believe. It not only provides protection in this life and hereafter but will protect you in-between.
In a hadith, it was mentioned that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) recommended reading Surah Mulk every night before going to bed.
There is a Hadith narrated by Imam al-Hakim in which the Holy Prophet peace be upon him said:
“Surah al-Mulk prevents punishment in the grave.” Imam Hakim also related that Abdullah bin Mas’ud said that, the Holy Prophet peace be upon him is saddened that:
“When a person is buried in his grave, he will be approached from his feet and the feet will say no harm to you.
for what is in my heart, the person always stood on me and read this surah, then the person will be approached from his chest,
and the chest will say that you have no right to do harm for what is in my heart, he has been used to recite Surah al-Mulk.
surat al Mulk has 30 ayahs (verses). surat al Mulk is known to have well-structured verses that each reveal and communicate new ideas. As a result,
the entire Quran seems to be a well-connected and structured text.
surat al Mulk is a chapter (Surah) 76 of the Quran. It falls into the last division of the Quran or the seventh one.
This division’s topic is “Warning the Quraysh leadership of the implications of the Hereafter and bringing good,
tidings to Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) of the dominance of the truth in Arabia.”
surat al Mulk starts on page 562 until page 564 of al Quran al Kareem.
Surah Mulk is placed in the 29th para (juz) and it comes after Surah at-Tahrim and before Surah al-Qalam.
This Juz is called Juz Tabarak because of surat al Mulk that starts the first Ayah with the word “Tabarak.”
You should recite surat al Mulk when you lay down before you go to sleep. This is when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to recite it. According to Aisha (May Allah Be Pleased With Her):
Surah Mulk's recitation before sleeping was also mentioned in another Hadith and how it protects whoever recites it. This was narrated by Abd-Allaah ibn Masood:
Whenever a section of al Quran al Kareem is advised to be read for a certain cause or at a given time,
we should obey that command as Allah’s SWT obedient servant in order to reap the benefits and rewards of it.
Maybe that’s why surat al Mulk was advised to be read at night.
Scientifically, if you want to develop a new habit that will be readily repeated,
it has been demonstrated that stacking the new routine with an existing routine assists so the activity may be quickly repeated.
So, if you try to read at night, it is a good thing.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also said about this Surah:
Surah Al Mulk (Arabic: سورة الملك) is the 67th Surah of Quran composed of 30 ayat (verses). It is classified as a Meccan Surah titled in English as “Sovereignty” or “Kingdom”.

Glorification of Allah and mentioning the Creation of Death, Life, the Heavens, and the Stars
Allah the Exalted glorifies His Noble Self and informs that the dominion is in His Hand. This means that He deals with all of His creatures however He wishes and there is none who can reverse His decree. He is not questioned concerning what He does because of His force, His wisdom, and His justice. For this reason, Allah says,
(and He is Able to do all things.) Then Allah says,
(Who has created death and life) Those who say that death is an existing creation use this Ayah as proof because it is something that has been created. This Ayah means that He brought creation into existence from nothing in order to test the creatures. He examines them to see which of them will be best in deeds. This is similar to Allah’s statement,
(How can you disbelieve in Allah Seeing that you were dead and He gave you life.) (2:28) In this Ayah Allah named the first stage, which is non-existence, “death.” Then he named the origin or beginning of existence, “life.” This is why Allah says,
(Then He will give death, then again will bring you to life ( on the Day of Resurrection)) (2:28). Concerning Allah’s statement,
(He may test you which of you is best indeed.) it means best in deeds. This is as Muhammad bin `Ajlan said. It should be noted that Allah did not say “which of you does the most deeds.” Allah then says,
(And He is the Almighty, the Oft-Forgiving.) This means that He is the Almighty, the Greatest, the Most Powerful, and the Most Honorable. However, along with this He is Most Forgiving to whoever turns to Him in repentance and seeks His pardon after having disobeyed Him and opposed His commandment. Even though Allah is Almighty, He also forgives, shows mercy, pardons and excuses. Then Allah says,
(Who has created the seven heavens one above the other;) meaning stacked one on top of the other.
Are they connected to each other, meaning that they are in elevated ascension, some of them being stacked above others,
or separated with space between them There are two views concerning this, and the most correct opinion seems to be the latter as is proven in the Hadith of Isra’
(the Prophet’s Night Journey) and other narrations. Concerning Allah’s statement,
(you can see no fault in the creation of the Most Gracious.) means, it (the creation) is done in a flawless manner,
and these are connected with each other so as to forms a straight level, having no disunion, conflict, inconsistency, deficiency, flaw, or defect. This is the reason that Allah says,
(Then look again. Can you see any rifts) meaning, look at the sky and pay close attention to it. Do you see any flaw, deficiency, defect, or rifts in it Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Ad-Dahhak, Ath-Thawri, and others said concerning Allah’s statement,
(Can you see any rifts) means, `do you see any defects O Son of Adam (mankind)’ In reference to Allah’s statement,
(Then look again and yet again, ) Qatadah said, “It means (look) twice.”
(your sight will return to you Khasi’,) Ibn `Abbas said that Khasi’ means humiliated. Mujahid and Qatadah both said that it means despised.
(and worn out.) Ibn `Abbas said that this means it will be exhausted. Mujahid, Qatadah, and As-Suddi all said that it means breaking down fatigue that comes from weakness. Thus, the Ayah means that if you continuously looked, no matter how much you look, your sight will return to you.
Khasi’due to the inability to see any flaw or defect (in Allah’s creation).
And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps, This refers to the stars which have been placed in the heavens, some moving and some stationary. In Allah’s statement,
and We have made them missiles to drive away from the Shayatin, The pronoun `them’ in His statement, “and We have made them” is the same type of statement as the stars being referred to as lamps. This does not mean that they are actually missiles, because the stars in the sky are not thrown. Rather, it is the meteors beneath them that are thrown and they are taken from the stars.
We have prepared for them the torment of the blazing Fire. means, `We have made this disgrace for the devils in this life and We have prepared for them the torment of the blazing Fire in the Hereafter.’
We have adorned the near heaven with the stars. And to guard against every rebellious devil.
They cannot listen to the angels for they are pelted from every side.
Outcast and theirs is a constant torment. Except such as snatch away something by stealing,
and they are pursued by a flaming fire of piercing brightness. as missiles for the devils, and assigns for navigation.
