Peace be upon you and your loved ones...
Reflection over Divine Attributes and to imbibe them is most
essential.... If the world was to grasp that the absolute Mastership
(being Maalik) belongs to God alone, all the turmoil in the world
would stop....
Aspects of Divine attribute called Maalik (The Master):
(1) To Allah/God belongs the kingdom of the heaven and the earth and
the entire cosmos runs on His command, He is the Master of this world
and of the Hereafter and we abide by His commandments to seek His
pleasure in this world as well as in the Hereafter. As for those who
deny the existence of God and as a result reject the idea of an after
life run amok following their whims in this world. Although if they
were to reflect they would realize that there are many who go through
torment in their daily life as a result of Divine recompense and that
they may also face torment of the Hereafter.
(2) The Promised Reformer of this era , (on whom be peace) explains
that the Master of the Day of Judgment in one way dispenses His
recompose in this world, as when a thief, having committed theft over
and over again, eventually gets caught and is imprisoned. Similarly
the misdemeanours of other type of sinners who are embroiled in
various wicked ways are initially covered by Allah, but eventually
their lives turn miserable and in their bitterness they experience a
sample of the punishment of the Hereafter. Likewise the good works of
those who are obedient do not go to waste, rather they bear fruit and
they attain paradisiacal reward in this world. In case of the sinners,
let alone the chastisement of the Hereafter, they lose their health
and faculties in this life and contract diseases which devastate them
well before death overcomes them. There are some who take heed and
fathom the deterrent, repent and reform themselves. They are thus
saved from the punishment of the Hereafter.
(3) These days AIDS is creating devastation in the world. When man
succumbs totally to animal-like base desires then through the Divine
attribute of Maalik punishment is given in this very world and only
God knows what would be the chastisement for this after death.
(4) Man who has been created as the most eminent among all creation
should reflect on the destructive ways he is heading and should be
mindful that while he is suffering for it on this earth; he could also
be chastised after death. Some people are so overcome by their base
animal-like instincts that they are completely devoid of any feeling
of remorse or reproving. Each sensible person can take heed from
examples in their own sphere and take a lesson and translate it into
endeavour to seek closeness to God.
(5) Some prevalent ills in some modern countries are such that the
youth need to particularly avoid them. These may start as trivial
wrongdoing that lead on to bigger and worse things. The consequences
of these actions bring ignominy in the society. In order to avoid this
one needs to inculcate awe of Allah and have the realization that He
saves one from sin, that He forgives and grants the most excellent
reward for good works, therefore one ought to turn to Him.
(6) The kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs to the One God,
Who has no partners and He alone is worthy of worship and when one has
the Being Who has the absolute sovereignty of the heaven and the earth
as a Friend and Helper then one is in no other need. < fact in light
of .... Surah Al Zumar (39:7) Surah Al Baqarah (2:108) >
Today all the chaos and disorder in this world stems from not
comprehending this single point. If the world was to grasp that the
absolute Mastership (being Maalik) belongs to God alone, all the
turmoil in the world would stop.
(7) The Promised divine Healer (on whom be peace) said that the word
Maalik (Master) denotes that one surrenders all rights one has and
Allah alone remains the absolute Master. He tests us through trials in
this world and bestows His favours on those who come through these
trials.
(8) A Hadith illustrate the subject by giving an example from
previous people: "Allah willed to test three Israelites who were a
leper, a blind man and a bald-headed man. So, He sent them an angel in
human form who came to the leper and said, 'What thing do you like
most?' He replied, "Good colour and good skin, for the people have a
strong aversion to me.' The angel touched him and his illness was
cured, and he was given a good colour and beautiful skin. The angel
asked him, 'What kind of property do you like best?' He replied,
'Camels (or cows).'So the leper was given a pregnant she-camel, and
the angel said to him, 'May Allah bless you in it.'
The angel then went to the bald-headed man and said, 'What thing do
you like most?' He said, 'I like good hair and wish to be cured of
this disease, for the people feel repulsion for me.' The angel touched
him and his illness was cured, and he was given good hair. The angel
asked him, 'What kind of property do you like best?' He replied,
'Cows,' The angel gave him a pregnant cow and said, 'May Allah bless
you in it.' The angel went to the blind man and asked, 'What thing do
you like best?' He said, 'I like that Allah may restore my eye-sight
to me so that I may see the people.' The angel touched his eyes and
Allah gave him back his eye-sight. The angel asked him, 'What kind of
property do you like best?' He replied, 'Sheep.' The angel gave him a
pregnant sheep. Afterwards, all the three pregnant animals gave birth
to young ones, and multiplied and brought forth so much that one of
the three men had a herd of camels filling a valley, and one had a
herd of cows filling a valley, and one had a flock of sheep filling a
valley.
Then the angel, disguised in the shape and appearance of a poor person
went to the leper and said, I am a poor man, who has lost all means of
livelihood while on a journey. So, none will satisfy my need except
Allah and then you. In the Name of Him Who has given you such nice
colour and beautiful skin, and so much property, I ask you to give me
a camel so that I may reach my destination. The man replied, 'I have
many obligations so I cannot give you.' The angel said, 'I think I
know you; were you not a leper to whom the people had a strong
aversion? Weren't you a poor man, and then Allah gave you all this
property.' He replied, 'This is all wrong, I got this property through
inheritance from my fore-fathers' The angel said, 'If you are telling
a lie, then let Allah make you as you were before.' Then the angel,
disguised in the shape and appearance of a bald man, went to the bald
man and said to him the same as he told the first one, and he too
answered the same as the first one did. The angel said, 'If you are
telling a lie, then let Allah make you as you were before.' The angel,
disguised in the shape of a blind man, went to the blind man and said,
'I am a poor man and a traveler, whose means of livelihood have been
exhausted while on a journey. I have nobody to help me except Allah,
and after Him, you yourself. I ask you in the Name of Him Who has
given you back your eye-sight to give me a sheep, so that with its
help, I may complete my journey.' The man said, 'No doubt, I was blind
and Allah gave me back my eye-sight; I was poor and Allah made me
rich; so take anything you wish from my property. By Allah, I will not
stop you for asking anything you need of my property which you may
take for Allah's sake.' The angel replied, 'Keep your property with
you. You (i.e. 3 men) have been tested and Allah is pleased with you
and is angry with your two companions."
(9) One must always be mindful of Allah's mastership. When a believer
is bestowed favours he is aware that everything is from Allah and
spends it in accordance to His commandments, however, at times the
love of money becomes an impediment in spending it for the right
causes.
(10) The ownership of things should make us grateful and be ever
mindful that the real Master is Allah alone who has given us temporary
ownership of things. <ref: Surah Ya Sin (36:72) > . Our thankfulness
should be like that of the blind man of previous illustration.
(11) The blessed successor of the divine promised Healer also pointed
out : Allah has taught us a beautiful prayer to seek a measure of His
Mastership ( being Maalik) < Say, O Allah, Lord of sovereignty, Thou
givest sovereignty to whomsoever Thou pleasest; and Thou takest away
sovereignty from whosoever Thou pleasest. Thou exalted whomsoever Thou
pleasest and Thou abasest whomsoever Thou pleasest. In Thy hand is all
good. Thou surely hast power to do all things. > Surah Al Imran (3:27)
.... It should always be borne in mind that if Allah's commandments are
not followed then He - Who is the King of all the kings and in Whose
Presence great world powers are naught - gives succour and help to the
disadvantaged and weak and brings disgrace and humiliation to those
who are apparently powerful.
(12) Allah's help can only be attained by abiding by His commandments.
May Allah enable the believers to comprehend and understand His
commandments so that they may avoid being maltreated by the people who
God has referred to as 'those who have incurred His displeasure' and
'those who have gone astray'. If they do not recognize the diviniely
appointed Guide of the age and do not assemble on one hand, they will
be chastised. This matter need attention. May Allah/God grant us the
insight and perception of His Mastership (Maalik) and enable us to do
good works so that we may attain His blessings in this world and the
Hereafter and are saved from torment. Fervent prayers are required for
the believers that may they understand the real will of the Master
and recognise the Guide that He sent in accordance with the need of
the time and are then helpful in bringing about the triumph of His way
of peace.
(13) We should pray for the all world that may they be enabled to
recognise God, Who is Master of the Day of Judgment, so that they are
saved from chastisement.
