Allah Is The Most Powerful

 

Allah Is The Owner of Sovereignty (L-377)

قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مالِكَ المُلكِ تُؤتِي المُلكَ مَن تَشاءُ وَتَنزِعُ المُلكَ مِمَّن تَشاءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشاءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشاءُ ۖ بِيَدِكَ الخَيرُ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ 26.

26.  QuLillaahumma  Maalikal-Mulki    tu’-til-Mulka  man-tashaaa-‘u  wa  tanzi-‘ul-Mulka  miman-tashaaa’.  Wa  tu-‘izzu  man-  tashaaa-‘u  wa  tuzillu  man-tashaaa’.  Bi-yadi-Kal-Khayer.  ‘InnaKa  ‘alaa  kulli  shay-‘in-Qadiir.

26.  Say, “O God, Owner of Sovereignty. You grant sovereignty to whom You will, and You strip sovereignty from whom you will. You honor whom you will, and You humiliate whom you will. In Your hand is all goodness. You are Capable of all things.”

Maalikal-Mulki – (Owner of Sovereignty), God has described about this virtue of His Ownership particularly for the purpose that the human being should perceive about His Powers and Strength. The mankind should not forget the Real Owner (God) in the intoxication of his temporary and transitory worldly power, influence and dignity. So that four days’ moving shadow may not make him careless from the commands of Supreme Commander (God).

This verse of Holy Qur’an has a specific Peculiarity. That is, “there is description about Perfect Power of God and utmost limit of inability and helplessness of the human being in the manner that nobody can deny”. It is the reason that our Muslim devotees use to tell their followers about this verse for repeating it as daily worship.

If there is need to mention this verse in connection with the Christians’ body of delegates from Najraan (Syria), then we shall relate it as, “O Christian Scholars! You are proud of the honor and sovereignty of the kings; understand it well that The Greatest Sovereign of the entire world and the Owner of the Dignity is God. Everything is in His Hand. He gives to whom He wills and withdraws from whom He wishes. God has shown practical demonstration of this reality to the entire world, while He made owner of the treasures of Roman and Persian sovereignty to an inferior and poor group (of newly Muslims). Then what is the worldly kingdom and honor?

God transferred last place of spiritual sovereignty and honor i.e. Prophet-hood from the Children of Israel to the Children of Ishmael. The words of this verse are taught to the Muslims in the form of supplication. And it explained that the persons who were poor, they would become owners of the sovereignty due to their faith, and who were kings, they would fall in disgrace due to their bad acts. The good (of all kinds) is In the Hand of God. He is Able to do all things. https://youtu.be/K4-K133NWBg
