Translation of the meanings Ayah 2 Surah Al-Mulk - English Translation - Abdullah Hasan Yaqoub - The Noble Qur'an Encyclopedia

Ayah: 2

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ وَٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبۡلُوَكُمۡ أَيُّكُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ عَمَلٗاۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡغَفُورُ

2. He Who created death and life1 that He may test you as to which of you is best in deeds. He is the All-Mighty, All-Forgiving.

1. Allāh set before us Life and death, prosperity and adversity, blessing and cursing; so choose the next life rather than this worldly life that you may have eternal life, you and your descendants. He who follows the Prophet Muhammad, God's last and final messenger, and believes in Allāh 'God' who sent him, will have eternal life, and will not perish. Know that this worldly life is temporary one. But the Home of the Hereafter that is the eternal Life.
