Detailed Description
Surah al-Mulk (The Kingdom) invites the reader to look at how the universe moves by God's will, under His perfect control, succinctly captured within its opening verse: Blessed is the One in Whose Hands rests all Kingdom. And He is Most Capable of everything. The Surah (chapter) challenges the reader to formulate a new concept of the universe and its relationship with its Creator as being like that of a kingdom with respect to a king. The reader is sent on a journey to discover a new sense of perspective on the power of God and the extent of His control over the cosmos and beyond. From this new and enlightened viewpoint, the planet and the present worldly life pales into insignificance when placed before the vastness of the seven heavens and the eternity of the Afterlife.

Customer Reviews
It's a well written, easy to read kind of book. Verses of the surah well categoriesed. Explanation made simpler with the help of diagram, tables and flow charts. Totally recommend both the tafsir books by Brother Asim Khan for beginners starting with their tafsir journey.
The only down side is that the illustrations are in black and white print. However, this doesn't effect the main purpose of the book i.e. content of the book. So, I'm not complaining. I'm grateful that it has been made available to the Indian market, thanks to ilmStore.
