Analysing Surah Al-Mulk (Introduction)

Introduction | Part 1 | Part 2

As I have an assignment 'homework' from my Al-Maghrib Qur'an course in January, I thought to be different and analyse one chapter for my whole paper.

I, along with 150+ other attendees studied the 29th volume of the Qur'an, the 29th 'juz called Tabarik. This section of the Quran contains eleven chapters - or suwar in Arabic (surah is singular for one chapter, suwar, pl.):

• Ch. 67 Surah Al Mulk, The Sovereignty
• Ch. 68 Surah Al Qalam, The Pen
• Ch. 69 Surah Al Haqqah, The Reality
• Ch. 70 Surah Al Ma'arij, The Ascending Stairways
• Ch. 71 Surah Nuh, Noah
• Ch. 72 Surah Al Jinn, The Jinn
• Ch. 73 Surah Al Muzzamil, The Enshrouded One
• Ch. 74 Surah Al Muddathir, The Cloaked One
• Ch. 75 Surah Al Qiyamah, The Resurrection
• Ch. 76 Surah Al Insaan, The Man, and
• Ch. 77 Surah Al Mursalat, The Emissaries.

For my assignment which was due in February, I chose the chapter Al Mulk, which has 30 verses and speaks primarily of the following wonders,

• the creation of the universe,
• the creator of death, life, stars, birds, water, 'heavens', land and earthquakes;
• the punishment and a description of Hell and its inmates,
• and ends with a parable of a disbeliever and a believer in Allah.

Now I don't want to be accused of cheating inshAllah by sharing my ideas, which is why I'm posting this after the deadline; the Quran is for all to use and read. I learn from this also as it repeats what I studied. (I'll post my assignment afterwards, just don't tell anyone!)

Notes to follow soon... I lost my note book right now.
