Surah Mulk

Surah 67
30 Ayat
Verses 20 – 24

This surah presents the concept of WARNING – a very strong wake up call for people
Reflection and purpose of life (worship) - competition to do good deeds.

Outcome of the choices we make on this Dunya.

Blessing of Allah upon us, we should feel obligated to Allah. Also touches on how impermanent Dunya is.
Heed the warning – understand and believe in Allah.

Um Mun – a rhetorical question (Who is this that is your army?) Allah is saying (you and what army) who will help you after rejecting Allah.

Jund – Army
(Min) Doon – something to be lower (other than, aside from) Whatever power you feel you have is not enough to fight against Allah.

Min doonir Rahman – Rahman – this name of Allah is very often repeated in Surah Mulk as it is reinforcing the theme in the Surah of Allahs blessings and mercy. Obligating the reader
In al kafiroon – in is to negate – to be ungrateful for Allah’s blessings (surrounded by deception – false reality)
Guroor – assumptions and delusions which leads people to believe in their bad actions (deceiving yourself)
Garoor – deceiver
Am sakaa – hold back. If Allah denies you sustenance, who will give you anything?

Rizq – Whatever is benefitted from – not just money or food. Sometimes a substitute for rain in the Quran. Similar because no one can completely predict rain as is the same with rizq. No one controls the rain, rain and rizq are in the hands of Allah.

Allah himself swears by himself – it is no doubt – that Allah provides for us our rizq. Allah created us to enslave ourselves to him. Allah does not need us.

3 words used in quran which refers to insist in varying degrees
