Tabaarakal lazee biyadihil mulku wa huwa ‘alaa kulli shai-in qadeer
Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent
وہ ذات با برکت ہے جس کے ہاتھ میں سب حکومت ہے، اور وہ ہر چیز پر قادر ہے۔
اَلَّـذِىْ خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ اَيُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْغَفُوْرُ (2)
Allazee khalaqal mawta walhayaata liyabluwakum ayyukum ahsanu ‘amalaa; wa huwal ‘azeezul ghafoor
[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed – and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving –
جس نے موت اور زندگی کو پیدا کیا تاکہ تمہیں آزمائے کہ تم میں سے کس کے کام اچھے ہیں اور وہ غالب بخشنے والا ہے۔
اَلَّـذِىْ خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَـمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا ۖ مَّا تَـرٰى فِىْ خَلْقِ الرَّحْـمٰنِ مِنْ تَفَاوُتٍ ۖ فَارْجِــعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَـرٰى مِنْ فُطُوْرٍ (3)
Allazee khalaqa sab’a samaawaatin tibaaqam maa taraa fee khalqir rahmaani min tafaawut farji’il basara hal taraa min futoor
And who created the even heavens in layers? You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?
جس نے سات آسمان اوپر تلے بنائے، تو رحمان کی اس صنعت میں کوئی خلل نہ دیکھے گا، تو پھر نگاہ دوڑا کیا تجھے کوئی شگاف دکھائی دیتا ہے۔
ثُـمَّ ارْجِــعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ اِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَّهُوَ حَسِيْرٌ (4)
Summar ji’il basara karrataini yanqalib ilaikal basaru khaasi’anw wa huwa haseer
Then return [your] vision twice again. [Your vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued.
پھر دوبارہ نگاہ کر تیری طرف نگاہ ناکام لوٹ آئے گی اور وہ تھکی ہوئی ہوگی۔
وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَآءَ الـدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيْحَ وَجَعَلْنَاهَا رُجُوْمًا لِّلشَّيَاطِيْنِ ۖ وَاَعْتَدْنَا لَـهُـمْ عَذَابَ السَّعِيْـرِ (5)
Wa laqad zaiyannas samaaa’ad dunyaa bimasaa beeha wa ja’alnaahaa rujoomal lish shayaateeni wa a’tadnaa lahum ‘azaabas sa’eer
And we have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made from them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.
اور ہم نے دنیا کے آسمان کو چراغوں سے آراستہ کیا ہے اور ہم نے انہیں شیطانوں کو مارنے کے لیے آلہ بنا دیا ہے اور ہم نے ان کے لیے بھڑکتی آگ کا عذاب تیار کر رکھا ہے۔
وَلِلَّـذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِرَبِّهِـمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّـمَ ۖ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْـرُ (6)
Wa lillazeena kafaroo bi rabbihim ‘azaabu jahannama wa bi’sal maseer
And for those who disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination.
اور جنہوں نے اپنے رب کا انکار کیا ہے ان کے لیے جہنم کا عذاب ہے اور وہ بہت ہی بری جگہ ہے۔
اِذَآ اُلْـقُوْا فِيْـهَا سَـمِعُوْا لَـهَا شَهِيْقًا وَّهِىَ تَفُوْرُ (7)
Izaaa ulqoo feehaa sami’oo lahaa shaheeqanw wa hiya tafoor
When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up.
جب اس میں ڈالے جائیں گے تو اس کے شور کی آواز سنیں گے اور وہ جوش مارتی ہوگی۔
تَكَادُ تَمَيَّـزُ مِنَ الْغَيْظِ ۖ كُلَّمَآ اُلْقِىَ فِيْـهَا فَوْجٌ سَاَلَـهُـمْ خَزَنَتُهَآ اَلَمْ يَاْتِكُمْ نَذِيْرٌ (8)
Takaadu tamayyazu minal ghaizz kullamaaa ulqiya feehaa fawjun sa alahum khazanatuhaaa alam ya’tikum nazeer
It almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, “Did there not come to you a warner?”
ایسا معلوم ہوگا کہ جوش کی وجہ سے ابھی پھٹ پڑے گی، جب اس میں ایک گروہ ڈالا جائے گا تو ان سے دوزخ کے داروغہ پوچھیں گے کیا تمہارے پاس کوئی ڈرانے والا نہیں آیا تھا۔
قَالُوْا بَلٰى قَدْ جَآءَنَا نَذِيْرٌ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ اللّـٰهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍۚ اِنْ اَنْتُـمْ اِلَّا فِىْ ضَلَالٍ كَبِيْـرٍ (9)
Qaaloo balaa qad jaaa’anaa nazeerun fakazzabnaa wa qulnaa maa nazzalal laahu min shai in in antum illaa fee dalaalin kabeer
They will say,” Yes, a warner had come to us, but we denied and said, ‘Allah has not sent down anything. You are not but in great error.’”
وہ کہیں گے ہاں بے شک ہمارے پاس ڈرانے والا آیا تھا پر ہم نے جھٹلا دیا اور کہہ دیا کہ اللہ نے کچھ بھی نازل نہیں کیا، تم خود بڑی گمراہی میں پڑے ہوئے ہو۔
وَقَالُوْا لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْـمَعُ اَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِىٓ اَصْحَابِ السَّعِيْـرِ (10)
Wa qaaloo law kunnaa nasma’u awna’qilu maa kunnaa feee as haabis sa’eer
And they will say, “If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze.”
اور کہیں گے کہ اگر ہم نے سنا یا سمجھا ہوتا تو ہم دوزخیوں میں نہ ہوتے۔
فَاعْتَـرَفُوْا بِذَنْبِهِـمْ فَسُحْقًا لِّاَصْحَابِ السَّعِيْـرِ (11)
Fa’tarafoo bizambihim fasuhqal li as haabis sa’eer
And they will admit their sin, so it is alienation for the companions of the Blaze.
پھر وہ اپنے گناہ کا اقرار کریں گے سو دوزخیوں پر پھٹکار ہے۔
اِنَّ الَّـذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّـهُـمْ بِالْغَيْبِ لَـهُـمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ كَبِيْرٌ (12)
Innal lazeena yakhshawna rabbahum bilghaibi lahum maghfiratunw wa ajrun kabeer
Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and great reward.
بے شک جو لوگ اپنے رب سے بن دیکھے ڈرتے ہیں ان کے لیے بخشش اور بڑا اجر ہے۔
وَاَسِرُّوْا قَوْلَكُمْ اَوِ اجْهَرُوْا بِهٖ ۖ اِنَّهٝ عَلِـيْمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ (13)
Wa asirroo qawlakum awijharoo bih; innahoo ‘aleemum bizaatis sudoor
And conceal your speech or publicize it; indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.
اور تم اپنی بات کو چھپاؤ یا ظاہر کرو بے شک وہ سینوں کے بھید خوب جانتا ہے۔
اَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ ؕ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيْفُ الْخَبِيْـرُ (14)
Alaa ya’lamu man khalaqa wa huwal lateeful khabeer
Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, the Acquainted?
بھلا وہ نہیں جانتا جس نے (سب کو) پیدا کیا وہ بڑا باریک بین خبردار ہے۔
هُوَ الَّـذِىْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ ذَلُوْلًا فَامْشُوْا فِىْ مَنَاكِبِـهَا وَكُلُوْا مِنْ رِّزْقِهٖ ۖ وَاِلَيْهِ النُّشُوْرُ (15)
Huwal lazee ja’ala lakumul arda zaloolan famshoo fee manaakibihaa wa kuloo mir rizqih; wa ilaihin nushoor
It is He who made the earth tame for you – so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision – and to Him is the resurrection.
وہی تو ہے جس نے تمہارے لیے زمین کو نرم کر دیا سو تم اس کے راستوں میں چلو پھرو اور اللہ کے رزق میں سے کھاؤ، اور اسی کے پاس پھر کر جانا ہے۔
اَاَمِنْتُـمْ مَّنْ فِى السَّمَآءِ اَنْ يَّخْسِفَ بِكُمُ الْاَرْضَ فَاِذَا هِىَ تَمُوْرُ (16)
‘A-amintum man fissamaaa’i aiyakhsifa bi kumul arda fa izaa hiya tamoor
Do you feel secure that He who holds authority in heaven would not cause the earth to swallow you, and suddenly it would sway?
کیا تم اس سے ڈرتے نہیں جو آسمان میں ہے کہ وہ تمہیں زمین میں دھنسا دے پس یکایک وہ لرزنے لگے۔
اَمْ اَمِنْتُـمْ مَّنْ فِى السَّمَآءِ اَنْ يُّرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُوْنَ كَيْفَ نَذِيْـرِ (17)
Am amintum man fissamaaa’i ai yursila ‘alaikum haasiban fasata’lamoona kaifa nazeer
Or do you feel secure that He who holds authority in the heaven would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning.
کیا تم اس سے نڈر ہو گئے ہو جو آسمان میں ہے وہ تم پر پتھر برسا دے، پھر تمہیں معلوم ہو جائے گا کہ میرا ڈرانا کیسا ہے۔
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّـذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِـمْ فَكَـيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيْـرِ (18)
Wa laqad kazzabal lazeena min qablihim fakaifa kaana nakeer
And already had those before them denied, and how [terrible] was My reproach.
اور ان سے پہلے لوگ بھی جھٹلا چکے ہیں پھر ہماری ناراضگی کا کیا نتیجہ ہوا۔
اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اِلَى الطَّيْـرِ فَوْقَهُـمْ صَآفَّاتٍ وَّّيَقْبِضْنَ ۚ مَا يُمْسِكُـهُنَّ اِلَّا الرَّحْـمٰنُ ۚ اِنَّهٝ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ بَصِيْرٌ (19)
Awalam yaraw ilat tairi fawqahum saaaffaatinw wa yaqbidn; maa yumsikuhunna il’lar rahmaan; innahoo bikulli shai in baseer
Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.
اور کیا انہوں نے اپنے اوپر پرندوں کو پر کھولتے اور سکیڑتے ہوئے نہیں دیکھا، جنہیں رحمان کے سوا کوئی نہیں تھام رہا، بے شک وہ ہر چیز کو دیکھ رہا ہے۔
اَمَّنْ هٰذَا الَّـذِىْ هُوَ جُنْدٌ لَّكُمْ يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ الرَّحْـمٰنِ ۚ اِنِ الْكَافِرُوْنَ اِلَّا فِىْ غُرُوْرٍ (20)
Amman haazal lazee huwa jundul lakum yansurukum min doonir rahmaan; inilkaafiroona illaa fee ghuroor
Or who is it that could be an army for you to aid you other than the Most Merciful? The disbelievers are not but in delusion.
بھلا وہ تمہارا کون سا لشکر ہے جو رحمنٰ کے مقابلہ میں تمہاری مدد کرے گا، کچھ نہیں کافر تو دھوکے میں پڑے ہوئے ہیں۔
اَمَّنْ هٰذَا الَّـذِىْ يَرْزُقُكُمْ اِنْ اَمْسَكَ رِزْقَهٝ ۚ بَلْ لَّجُّوْا فِىْ عُتُوٍّ وَّنُفُوْرٍ (21)
Amman haazal lazee yarzuqukum in amsaka rizqah; bal lajjoo fee ‘utuwwinw wa nufoor
Or who is it that could provide for you if He withheld His provision? But they have persisted in insolence and aversion.
بھلا وہ کون ہے جو تم کو روزی دے گا اگر وہ اپنی روزی بند کر لے، کچھ نہیں بلکہ وہ سرکشی اور نفرت میں اڑے بیٹھے ہیں۔
اَفَمَنْ يَّمْشِىْ مُكِـبًّا عَلٰى وَجْهِهٓ ٖ اَهْدٰٓى اَمَّنْ يَّمْشِىْ سَوِيًّا عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِـيْمٍ (22)
Afamai yamshee mukibban ‘alaa wajhihee ahdaaa ammany yamshee sawiyyan ‘alaa siratim mustaqeem
Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?
پس کیا وہ شخص جو اپنے منہ کے بل اوندھا چلتا ہے وہ زیادہ راہِ راست پر ہے یا وہ جو سیدھے راستے پر سیدھا چلا جاتا ہے۔
قُلْ هُوَ الَّـذِىٓ اَنْشَاَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْاَبْصَارَ وَالْاَفْئِدَةَ ۖ قَلِيْلًا مَّا تَشْكُـرُوْنَ (23)
Qul huwal lazee ansha akum wa ja’ala lakumus sam’a wal absaara wal af’idata qaleelam maa tashkuroon
Say, “It is He who has produced you and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.”
کہہ دو اسی نے تم کو پیدا کیا ہے اور تمہارے لیے کان اور آنکھ اور دل بھی بنائے ہیں، (مگر) تم بہت ہی کم شکر کرتے ہو۔
قُلْ هُوَ الَّـذِىْ ذَرَاَكُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَاِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ (24)
Qul huwal lazee zara akum fil ardi wa ilaihi tuhsharoon
Say, “It is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.”
کہہ دو اسی نے تمہیں زمین میں پھیلایا ہے اور اسی کے پاس جمع کر کے لائے جاؤ گے۔
وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰى هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُـمْ صَادِقِيْنَ (25)
Wa yaqooloona mataa haazal wa’du in kuntum saadiqeen
And they say, “When is this promise, if you should be truthful?”
اور وہ کہتے ہیں کہ یہ وعدہ کب ہوگا اگر تم سچے ہو۔
قُلْ اِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ عِنْدَ اللّـٰهِ ۖ وَاِنَّمَآ اَنَا نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ (26)
Qul innamal ‘ilmu ‘indallaahi wa innamaaa ana nazeerum mubeen
Say, “The knowledge is only with Allah, and I am only a clear warner.”
کہہ دو اس کی خبر تو اللہ ہی کو ہے اور میں تو صاف صاف ڈرانے والا ہوں۔
فَلَمَّا رَاَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيٓـئَتْ وُجُوْهُ الَّـذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَقِيْلَ هٰذَا الَّـذِىْ كُنْتُـم بِهٖ تَدَّعُوْنَ (27)
Falaammaa ra-awhu zulfatan seee’at wujoohul lazeena kafaroo wa qeela haazal lazee kuntum bihee tadda’oon
But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, “This is that for which you used to call.”
پھر جب وہ اسے قریب دیکھیں گے تو ان کی صورتیں بگڑ جائیں گی جو کافر ہیں اور کہا جائے گا یہ وہی ہے جسے تم دنیا میں مانگا کرتے تھے۔
قُلْ اَرَاَيْتُـمْ اِنْ اَهْلَكَنِىَ اللّـٰهُ وَمَنْ مَّعِىَ اَوْ رَحِمَنَا ۙ فَمَنْ يُّجِيْـرُ الْكَافِـرِيْنَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ اَلِـيْمٍ (28)
Qul ara’aytum in ahlaka niyal laahu wa mam ma’iya aw rahimanaa famai-yujeerul kaafireena min ‘azaabin aleem
Say, [O Muhammad], “Have you considered: whether Allah should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?”
کہہ دو بھلا دیکھو تو سہی اگر اللہ مجھے اور میرے ساتھ والوں کو ہلاک کرے یا ہم پر رحم کرے، پھر وہ کون ہے جو منکروں کو دردناک عذاب سے بچا سکے۔
قُلْ هُوَ الرَّحْـمٰنُ اٰمَنَّا بِهٖ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ هُوَ فِىْ ضَلَالٍ مُّبِيْنٍ (29)
Qul huwar rahmaanu aamannaa bihee wa ‘alaihi tawakkalnaa fasata’lamoona man huwa fee dalaalim mubeen
Say, “He is the Most Merciful; we have believed in Him, and upon Him we have relied. And you will [come to] know who it is that is in clear error.”
کہہ دو وہی رحمان ہے ہم اس پر ایمان لائے اور اسی پر ہم نے بھروسہ بھی کر رکھا، پس عنقریب تم جان لو گے کون صریح گمراہی میں ہے۔
قُلْ اَرَاَيْتُـمْ اِنْ اَصْبَحَ مَآؤُكُمْ غَوْرًا فَمَنْ يَّاْتِيْكُمْ بِمَآءٍ مَّعِيْنٍ (30)
Qul ara’aytum in asbaha maaa’ukum ghawran famai ya’teekum bimaaa’im ma’een
Say, “Have you considered: if your water was to become sunken [into the earth], then who could bring you flowing water?”
کہہ دو بھلا دیکھو تو سہی اگر تمہارا پانی خشک ہو جائے تو وہ کون ہے جو تمہارے پاس صاف پانی لے آئے گا۔
Tafseer of Surah Al-Mulk
Surah Al-Mulk is the 67th chapter of the Quran. Comprised of 30 verses, it emphasizes Allah’s dominion over the universe and the accountability of human deeds. Below is a detailed tafsir of each verse, explained in simple language for a deeper understanding.
Verse 1:
This verse begins by glorifying Allah, the Most Powerful. He holds absolute control over everything in the universe. The word “Tabarak” signifies unlimited blessings and greatness. Allah has the authority to create, sustain, and end all existence. This verse reminds us of His unmatched authority.
Verse 2:
Allah creates life and death to test humans. The purpose of existence is not quantity but the quality of deeds. “Ahsanu Amala” refers to sincere, righteous actions done with dedication. Despite being mighty and strong, Allah is forgiving, allowing repentance for shortcomings.
Verse 3:
Allah reminds us of the perfect balance in His creation. The seven heavens are layered systematically, and everything runs precisely without error. Humans are encouraged to observe and reflect upon this perfection to strengthen their belief in Allah.
Verse 4:
Humans are challenged to keep searching for flaws in Allah’s creation. Despite repeated attempts, they will find none, showcasing the flawlessness of His design. Attempts to prove imperfection will only humble one’s egotism.
Verse 5:
The sky is adorned with stars, which are both decorative and functional. They guide humanity during travel and deter devils who attempt to eavesdrop on the heavenly assembly. Those disobedient to Allah, including devils, face severe consequences.
Verses 6-7:
These verses describe the horrors of Hell as a warning. Hell is depicted vividly to instill fear in disbelievers. The sounds and movements of the fire signify its rage and readiness to punish.
Verses 8-9:
The dialogue in Hell highlights the regret of disbelievers. They admit to rejecting truth when warned. Their denial and arrogance led to punishment.
Verses 12-14:
Allah praises those who fear Him without seeing Him. He assures them of forgiveness. Allah knows everything, whether hidden or open, and understands us better than we know ourselves.
Verses 15-18:
These verses underline Allah’s blessings on Earth that allow humans to live, cultivate, and prosper. However, a reminder follows about accountability on the Day of Resurrection.
Verses 19-28
These verses highlight Allah’s power and the signs of His creation. Allah asks humans to reflect on the birds flying above them, supported only by His will. He reminds them of His mercy and control over all things. The verses also warn against feeling secure from Allah’s punishment, as He can send calamities at any time.
The disbelievers are reminded of the fate of those who rejected the truth before them. Despite clear signs, they persisted in arrogance. Allah emphasizes that no one can protect them from His punishment. The verses conclude by urging humans to recognize Allah’s blessings and to rely on Him alone, as He is the ultimate provider and sustainer.
Verse 30:
This closing verse is a thought-provoking question to humanity. Water, a basic need for life, is controlled by Allah. If it were withheld, no one could retrieve it. This evokes realization of humans’ dependency on Allah.
