And each time this Surah will defend him by saying, 'You cannot do anything to him, he used to recite Surah Mulk'. ' Abdullah ibn Masud further states, 'It is called, 'Al-maani'ah'. For it protects from the punishment of the grave.

Surah Mulk protection punishment graveWhen is the Surah al-Mulk recited?

Surat al-Mulk is one of the great surahs of the Qur’an which we are encouraged in Saheeh reports to recite frequently, and there are reports which say that it will protect the one who recites it from the punishment of the grave.

Abu Dawood (1400) and al-Tirmidhi (2891 – and he classed it as Hasan) narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There is a surah of the Qur’an, with thirty verses, that interceded for a man until he was forgiven; it is ‘Surah Tabaarak Alladhi bi yadihi’l-Mulk (Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion)’ [al-Mulk 67:1].” It was also classed as Hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi.

Al-Mannaawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

He recited it frequently, thus it kept asking Allah (to forgive him) until he was forgiven. This is the encouragement to everyone to recite it regularly so as to attain its intercession.

In the virtue mentioned, that this surah will intercede for the one who recites it, there is nothing to limit recitation thereof to night or day, rather what may be understood from this hadeeth is that what is meant by reciting this surah is paying particular attention to it, memorizing it, understanding it, and reciting it frequently, especially in prayer.

According to the hadeeth of Jaabir (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did not sleep until he recited Alif-Laam-Meem tanzeel (Soorat as-Sajdah) and Tabaarak alladhi bi yahihi al-Mulk (Surat al-Mulk).

There is the hope that the one who recites this surah will attain this great virtue and it will intercede for him before Allah s.w.t and save him from the punishment of the grave. There are reports which speak in particular about giving extra attention to it at night or when going to sleep. So if a person strives to do that, it is a good thing, Insha Allah.

Why did Prophet Muhammad ask to recite Surah Al-Mulk (Chapter-67) every night before going to sleep?

Surah Mulk is a Makki Surah with thirty verses and its rewards are not fixed for a certain time in a day, you can recite it as many times you wish to in a day. Specifically, if you recite Surah Mulk before sleeping, Allah sends down Angels to protect you from any harm. As a Muslim, we all know that there is only one Surah in the Holy Quran which will plead Allah to forgive its reciter and this is Surah Mulk. 

Abu Hurairah reports about Messenger of Allah PBUH, I heard Holy Prophet PBUH said,: There is a Surah in the Quran contains thirty Ayat which kept interceding for a man until his sins are forgiven.

This Surah is

�Blessed is He in Whose The hand is the dominion.
� (Surah Al- Mulk 67).
� (Al- Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud).

Hadith which says that Prophet peace is upon him used to recite Surah al-Mulk every night. Abdullah bin Mas‘ud narrates that “whoever recites Surah al-Mulk every night, Allah will prevent the punishment of grave by this Surah”.

As a Muslim, we all know that there is only one Surah in the Holy Quran will plead Allah to forgive its reciter and this is Surah Mulk.

What is the authenticity of the virtues of reciting Surah Mulk and its protection from the hellfire?

Abu Hurairah narrated that Allah’s Messenger () said:

A surah of the Qur’an with thirty aayahs long kept interceding for its reciter until he was forgiven! It is Tabaarakalladhee bi-yadihil-milk.

 It is supported by a similar hadeeth of Anas whose isnaad was authenticated by Ibn Hajar and others.

Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas narrated what the Prophet () said about Surah al-Mulk:

It is the averter (of the punishment of the grave).

 ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ood said:

It is the rescuer from the punishment of the grave.

The correct implementation of these scholars advice involves: reciting the surah slowly and correctly to the best of one’s ability; understanding its meanings; believing in whatever it contains; putting the teachings it contains into practice; propagating its message to others according to one’s knowledge and ability; and persevering through any harm.

Imaam ash-Shaukaanee and others said:

Let it be known, that although the hadeeths regarding the virtues of the Qur'an are plentiful, the reciter of the Qur’an does not completely gain the reward promised in the authentic hadeeths until he understands its meanings, for that is the fruit of his recitation. 

 The Permanent Committee for Research and Fatwa stated:

On this basis, it is hoped that whoever believes in [the contents of] this surah and reads it regularly, seeking the pleasure of Allah, learning the lessons contained in it and acting in accordance with the rulings contained therein, it will intercede for him [in the Hereafter].”

What are the Rights of Non-Muslims in Islam

March 27, 2020 0

The topic in question has the potential to capture the interest of Muslims and Non-Muslims alike. Even more so, in a day and age in which Muslims are mostly clueless on how to treat Non-Muslim minorities living in their lands. Ignorance is not without its grave consequences. A Muslim is bound to commit injustices if his knowledge and actions are not in harmony with the pristine teachings of the Quran and Sunnah. And the case of treatment to Non-Muslims is no different.
Islam has enshrined the twin inseparable qualities of mercy and justice into all its affairs. Anything from which these two qualities are removed is not Islam. Allah sent the last and final Messenger (PBUH): "And We have not sent you but as a mercy to all the worlds." (Quran 21:107) It was the Prophet’s (PBUH) dealings with Non-Muslim that won him their admiration and acceptance.

The real conquest in the early stages of Islam alongside the conquest of Mecca was that of human hearts. Muslim ignorance of Non-Muslim rights and their ill-treatment of minorities have deprived Non-Muslims of a real understanding of the beauty and truth of Islam. Hence, what are the rights of Non-Muslims in Islam?

For starters, in words of the Prophet (PBUH) of mercy himself:

"Beware!  Whoever is cruel and hard on a non-Muslim minority, curtails their rights, burdens them with more than they can bear, or takes anything from them against their free will; I (Prophet Muhammad) will complain against the person on the Day of Judgment." (Abu Dawud)

Non-Muslims have a right to their own beliefs

"There is no compulsion in religion…" (Quran 2:256)
The high moral ground on human rights taken by Islam almost 1500 years ago, shall remain unparalleled until the end of times. Reason being that its source was God and not imperfect human intellect.
When a constitution was drawn up in the first-ever Islamic state founded in Medina, one of its fundamental principles was to protect the places of worship of the Jews and Christians living in its vicinity. Thus, not only were they free to practice their faith but were also guaranteed protection for their places of worship as a mark of mutual respect.
The Quranic revelation took this large-heartedness even a step further. Allah the All-Wise revealed: "Do not revile those whom they call upon besides God, lest they revile God out of spite in their ignorance…” (Quran 6:108) This demonstrates the fair and liberal approach that Islam ratifies. One that can rival all the narrow-minded positions taken by nations across the globe in our times.


Above all, Islam is the only religion that renders it an article of faith to honor and respect all Prophets of God unconditionally. There is no question of any Muslim disparaging the Prophets of Judaism or Christianity, etc. On the contrary, the vivid details given in the Quran about each Prophet’s life help Muslims develop a strong bond with them. "If it had been your Lord’s will, they would all have believed – all of who are on earth!  Will you then compel humankind, against their will, to believe?" (Quran 10:99)

Non-Muslims have a right to being dealt with justly

"O, you who have believed, persistently stand firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives.  Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both.  So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just…” (Quran 4:135)
A notable incident that took place during Umar’s caliphate bears testimony to the principled stand taken by the early Muslims. Amr ibn al-As was a Sahabi (Companion) and the governor of Egypt. One of his sons beat up a Coptic Christian while boasting about being a nobleman’s son. The Copt took his complaint to Caliph Umar (R.A) after escaping imprisonment.
The righteous Caliph asked for the guilty party of father and son to be produced before him. When they appeared, he gave the Egyptian Copt a whip and asked him to beat the nobleman’s son with it. The son was beaten until justice had been served. Umar then turned to Amr and reprimanded him for enslaving people whom Allah had created free. The same equitable Umar Ibn al-Khattab, who upon being appointed Caliph, had proclaimed:
 ‘The weak will be made strong because I take for them what is their right.  And the strong will be made weak because I will take from them what is not rightfully theirs.’

Non-Muslims are guaranteed protection of their places of worship 

“And was it not that God checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of God is much mentioned (praised)” (Quran 22:40)
Not only does Islam assure religious freedom to Non-Muslim minorities, but it also promises to protect their places of worship. It was once again the rightly-guided Caliphs Abu Bakr and Umar, who went on to set the example. Abu Bakr, the first Caliph, instructed Usama Ibn Zaid in the first example: 
‘I command you to do ten things: kill no woman, no child, nor an elderly person; do not cut down fruit trees, or vandalize homes, or wound a sheep or camel except if you must eat it; do not drown a palm tree, or burn it, do not be treacherous; do not be cowardly, and you will pass by people who have devoted themselves to monastery life; leave them alone to their devotions.’ (Tabari)
Umar’s treaty with the people of Ilya of Jerusalem is the second:
‘This is the security given by the slave of God, Umar, the Commander of the Faithful, to the people of Iliya. They are guaranteed the security if their persons, possessions, churches, crucifixes, and everyone within, whether sick or in good health, as well as everyone in their community.  Their churches will not be occupied or demolished, nor will anything be taken from them: neither furnishings nor crucifixes or money.’ (Tabari)
The vindictive characteristics rampant in the people of our times are in sharp contrast to the noble and lofty ideals upheld by these righteous Caliphs. How often does one get to hear of a church, temple, synagogue, or a mosque that has been razed to the ground?

To conclude

Non-Muslims living in Muslim lands are not required to be ruled by Islamic laws. They are also exempted from paying the Zakat or compulsory military service. They may freely observe their civil law in affairs like marriage, divorce, etc. The Prophet (PBUH) allowed people to be judged according to the tenets of their scripture.
This freedom of worship and judging by their laws served to ensure the peaceful coexistence of society. Islam came to uplift and inspire men and not to undermine or demoralize them. Tyranny and oppression are looked down upon by Islam. Meanwhile, upholding justice is a virtuous act that helps one draw closer to Allah’s pleasure.
"God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes – from dealing kindly and justly with them. Indeed, God loves those who act justly…” (Quran 60:8)
