Surah Al Mulk Tilawat

Surah Al Mulk is one of the greatest blessings of Allah SWT over mankind. Various Hadiths indicate the importance of Surah Al Mulk. This Surah of 30 ayahs is the 67th Surah of the Quran. It was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the Makkah, hence it is a Makki Surah. The meaning of Al Mulk is Sovereignty or Kingdom. It was also known as Surah Al-Maani’a, the preventive, at the time of the Prophet (PBUH).
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) says:
“There is a Surah in the Quran which contains thirty Ayat which kept interceding for a man until his sins are forgiven. This Surah is ‘Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion.’ (Surah Al Mulk 67).”
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
“One of the companions of the Prophet (PBUH) pitched a tent on a grave without knowing that it was a grave. Suddenly he heard a person from the grave reciting Surah Al Mulk till he completed it. So he went to the Prophet (PBUH) and said: ‘Oh Messenger of Allah, I pitched my tent on a grave without realizing that it was a grave. Then Suddenly I heard a person from the grave reciting Surah Al Mulk till he completed it.’ The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: ‘It is the defender; it is the deliverer- it delivers from the punishment of the grave.’”
The hadith clearly states the importance of Surah Al Mulk. Undoubtedly, human beings make many mistakes knowingly and unknowingly. And it is no hidden fact that our deeds will reflect in our graves too. But Allah SWT is Ar-Raheem. He has sent the Quran as mercy. And one such Surah of Mercy is Surah Al Mulk which will protect us from the torment of the graves.
