Know your Lord- Who is Al-Malik?

Al-Malik (The King)

Al-Maalik (The Master and Owner)

Alladhi lahul-Mulk (The One to Whom belongs the dominion)
_
He is described with the attribute of being the Master and Owner. These are the attributes describing His grandeur, glory and majesty, omnipotence and His governance and regulation of the affairs. He is the One who directs all of the affairs to do with creation, command and recompense. To Him belongs the whole of creation, all of it is subservient to Him, owned by Him and in continuous need of Him.
_
The word 'Mulk' has the following classical Arabic connotations:

– to possess, to own exclusively
– to exercise authority to command
– to have power over, command, reign
– to have dominion over, to have ruling power
– to have kingship

_
Then High above all be Allah, the True King.

|Qur'ān 20:114|
_
Allāh azza wajal will hold the earth on the Day of Judgment, roll up the skies in His right hand and say, “Ana al Malik (I am the King), ayn al muluk al ardh? (where are the kings of the earth?).” No one will speak, because Allah ‘azza wajal is the King on that day. .
.
|Bukhari|

Say, “O Allāh, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.”- |Qur'an- 3:26|

Living by Allah’s Name Al-Malik:
.
He has power – whenever anxiety takes over remember Allāh subhanahu wa ta`ala has power over everything. He can fix whatever you are apprehensive about and bring you out of that test.
.
He does what He wills – everything happens according to the Qadr of Allāh. Only thing that can turn the Qadr in your favor is du`a therefore ask Him for a way out.
.
He is the Real King – everything that we possess, material wealth, worldly status or a job title is because of Him, and we will be accountable for how we use it. Therefore, we should humble ourselves before Him and fear the Accountability.
