Lesson
Fourth epithet
of ALLAH ALMIGHTY is mentioned in this verse. This is to say that HE is The
OWNER of the doomsday.
MAALIK –
epithet of ALLAH. Any Ruler or Judge may have a lot of power in this world.
However his authority is limited, under compulsion to punish the criminal as
per laws of the country. But ALLAH ALMIGHTY has used the word The OWNER for
HIMSELF, WHO has full power. If HE wishes to punish the criminal, HE can and
if HE wishes to forgive him, HE can. None is ruler upon HIM.
Diin –
Exchange the reward or punishment. Doomsday is called the Day of Judgment,
because the people will be rewarded or punished on their acts, done during
their present life. OWNER of the doomsday means that on that day every
person, Muslim or infidel and denier, will see the epithet of ownership of
ALLAH. None will be able to run away from the exchange of reward or
punishment.
All the
Prophets (Alaihe mussalaam) came here and preached that each mankind is
responsible for actions, done by him. There will come a time when the people
will be asked about their acts. And they will be exchanged with rewards or
punishment. Though this exchange is in action here, but on the doomsday it
will be practiced at full scale. Earth and skies will perish. All the persons
will be present in the court of ALLAH ALMIGHTY. HE will be The SOVEREIGN on
that day. HE will pay rewards on virtues and punish on the badness. None of
the people will have power either to disobey HIS decision or recommend
someone without HIS permission or discharge criminal violently or get relief
after paying some remuneration.
Who succeeds
to get fame on that day, he will be fortunate. He will live in palaces and
majestic gardens. There will be different kinds of fruit, honey and canals of
milk for him. On the other hand, he,
who will fail, he will be un-lucky. He will be thrown in the flames of Hell.
We should
prepare ourselves to escape from distress, trouble and painful penalty on the
Day of Resurrection. We should always obey the orders of The GOD and HIS
Prophet (Peace be upon Him). So that we may escape ourselves from much shame
of the doomsday. We may get relief from the horrible penalty and succeed in
attaining blessings of the Heaven for ever.
