Chapter 67

Sovereigntyal-Mulk ( الملك )

30 verses • revealed at Meccan

»The surah that opens with the statement “Blessed is He in whose hands is all sovereignty”. It takes its name from Divine sovereignty (mulk) mentioned in verse 1. The surah challenges the disbelievers with declarations of God’s total power over them, and everything else, in this world and the next. It describes the regret the disbelievers will express on the Day of Resurrection (verse 9 ff. and verse 27).«

The surah is also known as Control, The Dominion, The Kingdom

بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ

Ali Unal: IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE ALL-MERCIFUL, THE ALL-COMPASSIONATE

1
تَبارَكَ الَّذي بِيَدِهِ المُلكُ وَهُوَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ

Ali Unal

This sūrah of 30 verses was revealed in Makkah. It derives its name from the first verse where the word al-mulk (sovereignty) occurs. The basic points the sūrah deals with are the testimony of the universe to God’s Oneness, the end of the unbelievers who pay no heed to God’s Messages, God’s favors to humankind, and human dependence on God in both worlds.
Blessed and Supreme is He in Whose Hand is the Sovereignty; and He has full power over everything.
