Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn . The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray .

(Sovereignty)Section (juz') 29Number of Verses: 30

Sūra al-Mulk (Arabic: سورة المُلک) or Sūra Tabārak (سورة تَبارَک) is the sixty seventh surah of the quran. It is a makki surah located in the twenty ninth of the Qur'an. The Sura is called "al-Mulk" and "Tabarak" because these two words occur in the first verse of the sura. The main theme of Sura al-Mulk is the general Lordship of god over the whole universe and a warning about the resurrection.

The sura opens with a blessing and praise of God for His absolute dominion, sovereignty, and power, and the second verse of the sura concerns the creation of death and life as divine tests to determine people who are best in deeds. The first and the second verses are regarded as well-known verses of Sura al-Mulk. Of the virtues of the recitation of the sura, it is said that if one recites it at night, he will be given a reward equal to that of vigilance at the night of the qadr.

The blessed Chapter opens the twenty ninth part (juz') of the Holy Qur'an. The Chapter, revealed in Mecca, has thirty Verses. Another designation of the Chapter is Tabarak ("the Bountiful").

Both designations are derived from the first Verse and denote "Sovereignty" and "Bountiful" respectively.

The blessed Chapter generally treats of the following:

1. Topics regarding the Origin of existence, Divine Attributes, the marvelous system of the Creation of the world of existence and man, and man's means of gaining knowledge;

2. Topics concerning the Hereafter, torments of the Hell, and the conversations of the people of the Hell on the Day of Resurrection;

3. Warning the disbelievers and wrong doers against being afflicted with torments in this world and the Hereafter.

The blessed Chapter is one of the most meritorious Qur'anic Chapters regarding which many a tradition have been narrated from the Noble Prophet (S) and the Infallible Imams (as) regarding the recitation of the blessed Chapter.

In this vein, it is narrated from the Noble Prophet (S) as saying:

"One who recites Surah al-Tabarak is like one who wakes up praying in the Night of Ordainment.

According to another Prophetic tradition:

"I wish Surah al-Tabarak were recorded in the believers' heart.

Other traditions in this respect are to found in tradition sources.
