Translation of Surah Al-Mulk in الإنجليزية from Abdul Haleem - English translation
Verse 1
Al-Mulk
Exalted is He who holds all control in His hands; who has power over all things;
Verse 2
who created death and life to test you [people] and reveal which of you does best––He is the Mighty, the Forgiving;
Verse 3
who created the seven heavens, one above the other. You will not see any flaw in what the Lord of Mercy creates. Look again! Can you see any flaw?
Verse 4
Look again! And again! Your sight will turn back to you, weak and defeated.
Verse 5
We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps and made them [missiles] for stoning devils for whom We have also prepared the torment of a blazing fire.
Verse 6
For those who defy their Lord We have prepared the torment of Hell: an evil destination.
Verse 7
They will hear it drawing in its breath when they are thrown in. It blazes forth,
Verse 8
almost bursting with rage. Its keepers will ask every group that is thrown in, ‘Did no one come to warn you?’
Verse 9
They will reply, ‘Yes, a warner did come to us, but we did not believe him. We said, “God has revealed nothing: you are greatly misguided”.’
Verse 10
They will say, ‘If only we had listened, or reasoned, we would not be with the inhabitants of the blazing fire,’ and
Verse 11
ﯷﯸﯹﯺﯻ
ﯼ
they will confess their sins. Away with the inhabitants of the blazing fire!
Verse 12
But there is forgiveness and a great reward for those who fear their Lord though they cannot see Him.
Verse 13
Whether you keep your words secret or state them openly, He knows the contents of every heart.
Verse 14
How could He who created not know His own creation, when He is the Most Subtle, the All Aware?
Verse 15
It is He who has made the earth manageable for you––travel its regions; eat His provision- and to Him you will be resurrected.
Verse 16
Are you sure that He who is in Heaven will not make the earth swallow you up with a violent shudder?
Verse 17
Are you sure that He who is in Heaven will not send a whirlwind to pelt you with stones? You will come to know what My warning means.
Verse 18
Those who went before them also disbelieved- how terrible was My condemnation!
Verse 19
Do they not see the birds above them spreading and closing their wings? It is only the Lord of Mercy who holds them up: He watches over everything.
Verse 20
What force can help you if the Lord of Mercy does not? The disbelievers are truly deluded.
Verse 21
Who can provide for you if He withholds His provision? Yet they persist in their insolence and their avoidance of the Truth.
Verse 22
Who is better guided: someone who falls on his face, or someone who walks steadily on a straight path?
Verse 23
Say [Prophet], ‘It is He who brought you into being, He who endowed you with hearing, sight, and understanding- what small thanks you give!’
Verse 24
Say, ‘It is He who scattered you throughout the earth, He to whom you will be gathered.’
Verse 25
They say, ‘If what you say is true, when will this promise be fulfilled?’

Verse 28
Say, ‘Just think- regardless of whether God destroys me and my followers or has mercy on us- who will protect the disbelievers from an agonizing torment?’
Verse 29
Say, ‘He is the Lord of Mercy; we believe in Him; we put our trust in Him. You will come to know in time who is in obvious error.’
Verse 30
Say, ‘Just think: if all your water were to sink deep into the earth who could give you flowing water in its place?’
