The Ultimate Judgement: Malik-e-Yawm-id-Din

مَالِكِ یَوْمِ الدِّينِ 

Knowledge of Allah Almighty. Malik-e-Yawm-id-Din (Master of the Day of Judgment) after death's decree.

Dear Muslims!

First, let's understand the meaning of the words. "Yawm" یَوْمِ means day, and "Din"الدِّينِ means justice. In this verse, Allah's third attribute is described as the Master of the Day of judgement.

Qur’an:

Surah Al-Fatiha (1:4): 

مَالِكِ یَوْمِ الدِّينِ

“Master of the Day of Judgment.”

Surah Al-Imran (3:26):

 قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ

 مَن تَشَاءُ وَتَنزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِّمَّن تَشَاءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَاءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَاءُ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

“Say, ‘O Allah, Master of the Kingdom, You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take the kingdom from whom You will; You honor whom You will, and You abase whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.’”

Surah Al-An’am (6:73):

 وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ لِيَحْتَبِرَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا وَإِنْ قُلتَ إِنَّكُمْ مَيِّتُونَ وَإِنَّكُمْ مَيِّتُونَ إِلَيْهِ

“And He is the one who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and His throne was upon the water that He might test you as to which of you is best in deed.”

Surah Ar-Rahman (55:26-27):

 فِيهِمَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَمَا يَتَخَيَّرُونَ

“In both of them are fruits and are what they desire.”

Hadith:

Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Hadith 1:

عن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:

"اللهم ربنا ومالكنا، مَالِكُ يوم الدين."

“O Allah, our Lord and our Master, the Master of the Day of Judgment.”

Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 3207:

عن عبد الله بن عباس رضي الله عنه قال:

"اللهم أنت المالك يوم الدين."

“O Allah, You are the Master of the Day of Judgment.”

Sunan Abu Dawood, Book 8, Hadith 1463:

عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت:

"اللهم مالك الملك، لا إله إلا أنت."

“O Allah, Master of the kingdom, there is no deity but You.”

To achieve perfection, it was necessary to recognize Allah Almighty's attributes, which are summarized in these three:

1. Allah is the Master of the Day of Judgment.

2. Allah is the Most Gracious (Rahman).

3. Allah is the Most Merciful (Rahim).

Now you can define Allah Almighty accurately only when you thoroughly understand these three attributes and recognize Allah's characteristics.

Everything other than Allah Almighty is His creation. You should explore all of Allah's creation and practically benefit from them. Then you will be worthy of saying "Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alamin" (All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the universe).

There are two types of Allah's mercy:

1. The mercy that reaches us through our parents, teachers, and others.

2. The mercy that reaches us through the earth, water, air, moon, sun, and the ocean.

You should explore all these mercies and benefit from them. Then you can say "Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim" (The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)

You will be worthy of praising Allah. Your share is not limited to the blessings and progress of this world. Rather, it continues even after death. You must explore the life and progress after death and obtain your share there as well. Then you will be worthy of praising Allah as "Malik-e-Yawm-id-Din" (Master of the Day of Judgment).

Before Islam, people used to praise idols, kings, and nobles to gain benefits. When Islam arrived, it proclaimed, "Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alamin" (All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the universe). People, praise only Allah and recognize His lordship, mercy, and justice, which govern both this world and the hereafter.

Dear Muslim! Now consider today's verse. A glory of God Almighty's mercy.

It is that He has not made the rule of rewarding man for every work, like fire by touching the hand is found. A person dies by eating poison. Likewise every good and there is a unique consequence for a bad deed. If you do compassion, generosity and justice, the world and in the end you will be well rewarded. This is because God is the owner of Yumuddin. And his according to the law, this world is a place of action. And the life after death that man gets it will be the place to get the fruit of these sentences. This dear Islam! You and your goodness.

Surah Az-Zilzal (99:7-8):

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ ۝ وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ

(So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.)

Surah Al-Insan (76:3):

إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا

(Indeed, We guided him to the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful.)

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:286):

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا

(Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.)

Hadith References:

Sahih Bukhari (Hadith 6407):

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ -رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ- أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ: «إِذَا أَحْسَنْتَ أَحْسَنْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ، وَإِذَا أَسَأْتَ فَلَهَا»

(Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “If you do good, you do good for yourself; and if you do evil, you do it to yourself.”)

Sunan at-Tirmidhi (Hadith 2516):

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الْإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ

(The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Indeed, Allah has prescribed excellence (ihsan) in all things.”)

Sahih Muslim (Hadith 2577):

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا وَلَكِنَّ النَّاسَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

(Indeed, Allah does not wrong the people at all, but it is the people who wrong themselves.)

Never think of evil as disappearing and disappearing. God's, the law is that no action of man is wasted and after death forever.

It pays off, not if you want your own good, that's all you do for yourself.

Do not think about the gain of the world but also about your future life and all your life spend in avoiding evil and accumulating good.

Dear Muslim! The Qur'an has described the three attributes of God (His Buryat (4) Mercy).

(3) He introduced the servants to the knowledge of God by presenting the court and at the same time they were proud of their servitude, so that God's servants are also painted in the color of their attributes. Your Lordship take a lesson from them and serve and train your family members at home.

Do a lot of housekeeping.

Take lessons from the mercy of God and mercy from every particle of the world by discovering and loving our neighbors and citizens and adventurers.

The system has been corrected.

 You are more than God's court and I will establish justice system.

Get the politics right.

 This is the meaning of caliphate and vicegerency of God on earth.
