Surah al-Mulk ayah 2

Date: October 30, 2004 | 16 Ramadan 1425 Hijriah
Blog: A Quranic Journal
Arabic text of ayah

Alladhi khalaqa al-mawta wa al-hayata li yabluwakum ayyukum ahsanu 'amalan wa huwa al-'azizu al-ghafuru

He who created life and death, that He may test you who has the most beautfiul deeds, and He is the Mighty, the All-Forgiving

The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah, from Tafsir Ibn Kathir:

Those who say that death is an existing creation use this Ayah as a proof because it is something that has been created. This Ayah means that He brought creation into existence from nothing in order to test the creatures. He examines them to see which of them will be best in deeds... He is the Almighty, the Most Great, the Most Powerful and the Most Honorable. However, along with this He is Most Forgiving to whoever turns to Him in repentance and seeks His pardon after having disobeyed Him and opposed His commandment. Even though Allah is Almighty, He also forgives, shows mercy, pardons and excuses
