Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman recited and explained the second verse of Surah Mulk in Parliament on Sunday. During his detailed interpretation, members of Parliament listened attentively. He emphasized that Allah created life and death to test humankind, highlighting that human existence in this transient world is a test.

Dr. Rahman elaborated that Allah seeks to identify those with the best character and deeds, describing this as the essence of the divine test. He further explained two divine attributes mentioned in the verse: Al-Aziz (the Almighty), who is stern toward those who reject Him, and Al-Ghafur (the Forgiving), who is merciful to the obedient.

He concluded that humans were not created without purpose; rather, their creation aims at performing good deeds. Citing a hadith, he added that the best person is one who works for the welfare of others.
