Names of Surah Mulk

Surah Mulk (chapter 67) is also called Surah Tabarak (from ayah 1), Al-Mani’ah (the protector), Al-Munjiyah (that which saves), and Al-Waqiyah (the defender). These are names of one surah — not extra chapters.

Why a glossary, not another Tabarak post

We already have a post on Surah Tabarak as a nightly handle and another on the word Tabarak. This page answers a different job: all the names in one extractable list, including Al-Mani’ah and Al-Munjiyah, which those posts do not own.

The names

Al-Mulk

The Dominion / Sovereignty

The canonical surah name. Mulk is the kingdom that belongs to Allah alone.

Tabarak / Tabarakalladhi

Blessed / exalted is He

Taken from ayah 1. Linguistic essay: meaning of Tabarak. Nightly handle: Surah Tabarak blog.

Al-Mani’ah (Al-Maani’ah)

The protector

Hadith title tied to protection from grave punishment. Practice lives on the grave-protection page — this row is the name only.

Al-Munjiyah

That which saves

Companion title in reports about the surah’s intercession and rescue.

Al-Waqiyah

The defender

Often listed with Al-Mani’ah. Not a separate surah.
