Surah Al-Mulk is the 67th Surah of the Holy Qur’an. It is situated in the 29th portion (juz) of the Holy Qur’an. It is “the Protective (Al-Waaqiyah)” because it protects the person who recites it and possesses it in his heart. It is “the Preventive (Al-Maani’)” because it prevents the punishment of the grave from harming its reciter and possessor. It is “the Saviour (Al-Munjiyah)” because it saves its reciter and possessor from entering the Hell Fire and IT IS THE CONTENTIOUS (AL-MUJAADILAH) BECAUSE ON THE DAY OF RECKONING IT WILL ARGUE WITH ALLAH ALMIGHTY TO ENSURE ITS RECITER AND POSSESSOR IS GRANTED ENTRANCE IN TO PARADISE.

Surah Al-Mulk is the Surah which intercedes for its reciters; the Surah which gives salvation from the torment of the grave; the Surah which protects its reciter; the Surah we have been instructed to recite ourselves and to teach to our families. It is reported regarding Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) that he said “Personally, recite Surah Al-Mulk and teach it to your wife, children and to all the other children who live in your home, and even to your neighbours, because it is that which grants salvation, and it will firmly demand (for your) salvation from Allah.”
