Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
Welcome to Day 30 of the BeQuranic New Year 2025 Challenge!
SubhanAllah, we’ve reached the final ayah of Surah Al-Mulk. If you’ve been with us from the start, that means you’ve now studied every ayah of this incredible surah—its meaning, its tajweed rules, and its deeper wisdom. And if you’ve been memorising along the way, then today, you’re completing the memorisation of an entire surah that Rasulullah ﷺ recited every single night. That’s huge!
Now, if you’re just joining us, don’t worry. You can take your time and go at your own pace. The goal here isn’t speed—it’s consistency. Microprogression. The most beloved actions to Allah are those that are done consistently, even if they are small. So even if you’re moving slowly, keep going. Make sure today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow, inshaAllah, will be better than today.
Let’s dive into the final ayah of this surah:
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَآؤُكُمْ غَوْرًۭا فَمَن يَأْتِيكُم بِمَآءٍۢ مَّعِينٍۢ
This ayah is a powerful rhetorical question from Allah. He’s asking the Quraysh—and by extension, all of us—“What if your water were to sink deep into the earth? Who could bring you fresh, flowing water?”
Think about that for a second. Water. Something so basic, so fundamental to life. We turn on the tap, and it’s there. We don’t even think about it. But Allah is reminding us—this water we take for granted? It’s a gift. And if He willed, it could disappear.
For the Quraysh, this hit hard. They lived in a desert. They had no rivers, no easy access to water. Their survival depended on wells—especially Zamzam. So this question was very real for them: What if Allah took your water away? What would you do?

And it’s still just as relevant today. With climate change, droughts, and water crises around the world, we’re seeing just how fragile this blessing really is. Who controls the rain? Who keeps our rivers flowing? Who ensures that water reaches our homes? Only Allah.
This final ayah wraps up Surah Al-Mulk beautifully by bringing us back to a central message: everything we rely on comes from Allah. The food we eat, the air we breathe, the earth we walk on, the stars above us, the water we drink—it’s all from Him. And just as He gives, He can take it away.
So, what’s the takeaway from this ayah?
1. Gratitude. We need to be deeply grateful for the blessings we take for granted, especially the basics like water. Every time we drink, we should say Alhamdulillah.
2. Tawakkul. Just like yesterday’s ayah reminded us to put our trust in Allah, this one reinforces it. He provides. If we ever feel uncertain, if we ever worry about provision—remember this ayah.
3. Reflection. Every night, as we recite Surah Al-Mulk, let’s take a moment to think: How much do I depend on Allah? How much gratitude do I show for His blessings?
Alhamdulillah, we’ve now completed all 30 ayahs of Surah Al-Mulk! If you’ve memorised the entire surah—congratulations! 🎉 That’s an incredible achievement. But more importantly, let’s not stop here. Let’s keep the habit alive.
Even if you miss a night or two, get back to it. A habit is built through consistency. If you forget one day, make sure you don’t miss two in a row. Just five minutes a night, and this surah will be with you forever.
Tomorrow, inshaAllah, we’ll meet again for a special wrap-up session—a reflection on everything we’ve learned from Surah Al-Mulk, and how we can take these lessons forward in our daily lives.
Until then, may Allah bless you all. Keep reciting, keep reflecting, and keep growing.
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
