Malik al-Mulk - Absolute King of the Kingdom - explanation of name

ALLAH subhanahu wa ta’ala is fully authorized King who has power to make others superior when He wills and inferior when He wills. He may reward and bless whomever He likes to do, with reasons only He knows. There is no one in this world who can question His decisions and actions. However He will question everyone of His creatures regarding the action and choices they made.

Malik al-Mulk - Absolute King of the Kingdom - ayah 1 - قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ  تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ

In ALLAH’s hand are the keys of all hidden and open treasures of the world that never fail to fulfill the needs of His servants. He is the provider and He is the protector. He protects us from all evil except what is written by Him for us.

There is no need for Him to be protected but, all others are dependent on Him for provision and protection. No one can reach Him, the powerful One of this kingdom is Only Him.

Malik al-Mulk - Absolute King of the Kingdom - ayah 2 - قُلْ مَنْ بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ

He and His names are full of barakah and blessings for those who can feel the honor of belonging to Him. He is the King always available to His servants without any delays in appointments. He likes to connect to His servants. This is the most kind King who likes to listen, likes to solve problems, and likes to forgive when we make mistakes.

Malik al-Mulk - Absolute King of the Kingdom - ayah 3 Surah al Mulk - تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ  وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

The kingdom primarily given to humans are their own bodies and the best part of which is the heart. Whose heart belongs to ALLAH and is conscious of His pleasure will ultimately be able to correct his own kingdom. Humans who can correct themselves will have good chances to succeed in fulfilling their purpose in life.

Malik al-Mulk - Absolute King of the Kingdom - the human share.

After heart, the important assistant in our kingdom is our brain. The humans who understand the perfect power of the Rab will seek His help in correcting themselves and then the others around them. For this purpose, we need to intelligently identify our Rab, ourselves, and our capacities as His servants. ALLAH has given each one of us unique talents and capacities which are there hidden to identify, use them well, and play our part in this world.
