All Hail the King
Allah’s Name, Al-Malik, means The King & Owner of Dominion. Allah calls Himself Al-Malik— The King and Owner of Dominion— on five occasions in the Quran. He is the King, the owner and ruler of the whole creation. Al-Malik gives authority to whomever He wants in this world, and He has supreme authority and is ruled by no one!
Describing an amazing and humbling moment on the Day of Judgment, the Prophet (saw) said: Allah will grasp the earth and fold up the heavens with His Right Hand and proclaim, “I Am the King! Where are the kings of the earth? Where are the tyrants? Where are the arrogant?” [Al-Bukharee, Muslim] No one will speak and the kings and rulers of this world will be left with none of their “power.”
We can strive to live by this Name by seeking recognizing our position beneath Allah, and exercising justice in our authority over others.
