Surah Al-Mulk (“The Sovereignty”) is the 67th surah of the Quran: a Makkan surah of 30 ayahs.

Background

A Makkan surah of thirty ayahs, the first of the 29th juz, known as Tabarak.

• Look again at the heavens: do you see any flaw? (3–4)
• The regret of the people of the Fire: if only we had listened (10)

Virtue

A surah of the Quran of thirty ayahs interceded for a man until he was forgiven: “Blessed is He in whose hand is the dominion.” (Abu Dawud 1400, Tirmidhi 2891). The Prophet ﷺ would not sleep until he had recited it (Tirmidhi 2892).
