Lesson
Fourth epithet of Allah Almighty is mentioned in this verse. This
is said 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 desires to punish the criminal,
HE can, but if HE wishes to forgive him, HE can. None can dictate Him and none is
ruler upon Him.
Diin – Retaliation as reward or punishment against Goodness or evil
deeds. The Doomsday is called the Day of Judgment, because the people will be
rewarded or punished due to their acts, done during their present life. OWNER
of the Doomsday means that on that Day, every person, whether that is Muslim, infidel,
idolater or denier, will see the epithet of ALLAH’s ownership. None will be
able to turn away from the retaliation of Good or Bad Deeds.
All the Prophets (peace be upon Them) came in the world to preach
that every human being would be responsible of own character. A time will come when
the people will be asked about their acts. And they will be retaliated with
rewards or punishment. Though this exchange is established here, but on the Day
of Resurrection, it will be practiced at full scale. The earth and the skies
will perish. The entire persons will be produced in the Court of Allah
Almighty. HE will be The SOVEREIGN on that Day. HE will pay rewards on virtues
and punish due to sins, evils and the badness. None of the people will have any
power, either to disobey HIS decision or recommend someone without HIS
permission or let the criminal go 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, canals
of honey and milk for him/her. At the other hand, he, who will fail, he
will be un-lucky. He will be thrown in the flames of Hell.
We should be prepared to escape from distress, trouble and painful
torment on the Day of Resurrection. We should obey the orders of GOD always and
HIS Prophet (Peace be upon Him), so that we may save ourselves from too much distress
and shame of the Day of Judgment. We may get relief from the horrible punishment
and succeed in attaining the blessings of the Heaven for ever.
Thee (alone) we worship.

Lesson
We recognized four epithets of ALLAH ALMIGHTY:
The LORD of the worlds
The BENEFICENT
The MERCIFUL
The OWNER of the Day of Judgment
Everything of the earth and the skies gets its promotion with God’s
Support. HE fulfils necessities of every creature. HE is The Boundless
BENEFICENT. HE resolves the problems of every person with HIS Kindness. HE
removes the difficulties of all kinds. HE is the MERCIFUL too. Who obeys HIS
orders and acts upon the Instructions delivered by HIM, gets rewards and after
death he will be able to take place under the shade of HIS Kindness. HE is The
OWNER too of the Day of Judgment. HE produces the results of our deeds in this
world and gives retaliation. And on the Day of Resurrection HE will also pay
the remuneration (rewards for good acts and punishment against the evil deeds).
ALLAH has reminded the people after expressing HIS epithets that
they should obey and worship the only one GOD, day and night, remember HIM every
time, complain HIM at the time of calamity, thank HIM during the pleasure and
ease hours, pray only for HIM leaving all the liar gods.
Worship means the devotion, respect, honors and obedience which
are practiced for GOD ALMIGHTY. As though, the person should be busy in worship
of ALLAH during his every movement. Worship doesn’t mean only devotion and
prayer. Besides the service and devotion in worship, the perfect obedience is
also included with it compulsorily.
The Purpose of perfect obedience by the person is to follow all
the Commands and instructions of Allah Almighty and not to oppose HIS assent in
any matter.
“THEE (alone) we worship and THEE (alone) we shall obey in
future”. We promise that we shall never ascribe any partner with Him to anyone
in this matter.
The entire mankind are children of Prophet Adam (peace be upon Him).
Who has the power to be called himself “God” and compel anyone to worship him
or how can it be right for mankind that he would obey someone except Allah
Almighty or live like his own will?
We all are obedient of one GOD “ALLAH”. We don’t agree to obey
anyone opposing ALLAH’s orders and instructions.
