Al Malik (Jalla Jalaalahoo) is that Being (Jalla Jalaalahoo) Who is Completely Independent in His Being (Jalla Jalaalahoo) and Qualities (Jalla Jalaalahoo), from all things in existence, and all things in existence are dependent on Him (Jalla Jalaalahoo). In fact, nothing is independent of Him (Jalla Jalaalahoo) whether in regard to its being, qualities, existence or permanence. The presence of all in existence is directly or indirectly from Him (Jalla Jalaalahoo). The existence and qualities of all besides Him (Jalla Jalaalahoo) is Controlled and Possessed by Him. He (Jalla Jalaalahoo) is Independent of everything. In short, only He (Jalla Jalaalahoo) is the True Sovereign (Jalla Jalaalahoo). If the creation becomes owner of anything, its is only temporarily. Before this, they did not have ownership, nor will it last very long. At any time this ownership can come to an end. Creation only become the owner for few things whereas Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo’s Ownership is over everything. This is the difference between this Quality of Ownership in the Creator, Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo, and in the created.

This much is clear that the True Owner and Sovereign (Jalla Jalaalahoo) of every atom of the universe can only be that Pure Being (Jalla Jalaalahoo), Who has Created it, Nurtured it, Reared it, and whose Ownership is Complete, over everything i.e. the external and the internal; the living and the dead; and whose ownership does not have a beginning, nor end, but is there for all eternity.

This is contrary to the ownership of man whose ownership is confined to a certain time limit. It was not there before, nor will it remain. Man’s ownership and usage extends only to the external of every object and not to the internal, to the living and not to the dead. For this reason, those blessed with insight affirm that True Sovereignty of the entire universe belongs only to Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo, at all times, not only on the Day of Judgement.

Even though True and Complete ownership of the entire universe is only confined to Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo, He (Jalla Jalaalahoo) through His Grace (Jalla Jalaalahoo), and Complete Wisdom (Jalla Jalaalahoo), has also Granted man a form of partial ownership. According to the decrees of the world, mans ownership has been respected and revered. In this world, man is outwardly the title-holder of wealth, the landlord of land and properties, the proprietor of houses and furniture and the owner of servants and workers. However, man becomes proud and inebriated, due to this deficient form of ownership which has only been given to him as a trial.

Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo says, مٰلِکِ یَوْمِ الدِّیْن   “The Sovereign (Jalla Jalaalahoo) on the Day of Judgement.” This is to warn, and awaken the negligent and proud, that all these possessions and all these relations and connections, are only for a few days. One such day is approaching; wherein one will not be the owner even outwardly of anything. No one will remain as a master and slave, nor as a boss and worker. The Ownership of the whole universe, and all the lands will only lie in the Hands of The One Pure Being  (Jalla Jalaalahoo), Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo.

The following verse clarifies that sovereignty and kingship is only for Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo:

“The day when they will appear (before Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo). Nothing of theirs will be (outwardly) hidden from Allaah (Jalla Jalaalahoo). For whom is ownership today? It is only for Allaah ((Jalla Jalaalahoo)), The Unique (Jalla Jalaalahoo), The Invincible (Jalla Jalaalahoo).” (Mu’min)

The Day of Judgement has been specified for the direct manifestation of the Kingship and Ownership of Allaah Jalla Jalaalahoo in the Most Perfect, and Complete Manner. In one moment, every individual in the universe will witness His Grandeur (Jalla Jalaalahoo) and Beauty (Jalla Jalaalahoo). In this world too, only He (Jalla Jalaalahoo) is the True King (Jalla Jalaalahoo) and Owner (Jalla Jalaalahoo). However, according to His Wisdom (Jalla Jalaalahoo)  and Wish (Jalla Jalaalahoo), some temporary kings and owners are present on earth. On the Day of Judgement, all of these temporary positions, will terminate, and only the Reality will remain.
