Name and Background
The Soorah came to be identified by the word Al-Mulk (Kingdom) from the first verse.
This Soorah, like other early Makkan Soorahs, presents Islamic teachings in a concise, point-form manner, in a style that wakes people up and encourages them to think. The Soorah reminds people of the temporary nature of this world, which is only for the purpose of testing people’s performance. The focus of the Soorah remains on the punishment of Allaah in this world and the Hereafter.
