## Resource

Part 3 – Life in the Shadow of Death | Surah Al-Mulk (67:1–2) In this third session, we reflect on the verse’s reminder that Allah created death and life. After hearing the Arabic recitation and translation, you’ll be invited to pause with a reality we often push to the background: that every life — including our own — has an end. Through gentle reflection prompts, this session explores how remembering the limits of our time can clarify what truly matters and reshape the way we see our priorities. Part of a guided Quran reflection series on Surah Al-Mulk (67:1–2), designed to create space for thoughtful engagement with the Quran.
