MAALIK ( Master ) 1:3 مَا لِك
Lafz-e-Malik ka maddah ya root (م ل ك) hai. Maalik Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) ki sifaton me se ek sifat hai, aur Allah ke behtareen namo me se ek naam hai;
- Maalik kisse kehtey hain?
- Owner, wo jo har cheez par mukammil ikhtiyar aur taqat ka malik hai,[3]
- Master, jaisa ke maalik urdu mein hum kehtey hai,
- To yaum-e-deen ka maalik, yani yaum-e-deen mein aur koi maalik nahin hoga.
- Iss ayat ko Qirat ke hisab se Maliki Yaumi ad-Deen bhi parrha jata hai,
- Malik ka matlab badeshah, king ke aate hain,[4] to Maliki Yaumi ad-Deen ka matlab hoga yaum-e-deen ka badeshah.
- Iss duniya mein bahut mill jatey allam ghallam, lekin wahan He will be the only Master and the only King on that day.
- Issi root se, lafz-e-Mulk bhi hai, jis ke maane Kingdom, ya saltanat ke hain,[5]
- Allah ki Saltanat me, Allah ke siway baqi sab ghulam hain, aur wohi taqat rakhte hain, jo unhe Allah ki taraf se di gayee ho.
- Kisi ke paas apni marzi se koi taqat ya ikhtiyar nahi hai, kyun ke,
- Asal me, Allah hi haqiqi Badeshah hai.
Ahadith me bhi, yehi maane aye hain iss root ke,
- Ek hadith me ata hai ke, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya, Allah ke nazdeek sab se zaleel insaan wo hai, jo apne aap ko badeshahon ka badeshah kahe ya doosron se kehelwaye.[6]
- Witr ki namaz ke baad ye, tasbeeh aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) hume sikhayee, “Subhana al-Maliki al-Quddus” teen baar parrhe aur teesri baar awaz buland karke parrhe aur uss me aagay jodh dein “Rabbu al-Malaikati wa al-Ruh”[7]
- Lafz-e-Malak bhi issi root se hai, jis ka matlab farishte ke hain.
- Agar koi Musalman, kisi bimar Musalman ko milne jata hai, to 70 hazar farishte uss ke liye dua karte hain suraj ghuroob hone tak, aur agar kisi bimar se milne shaam me jata hai to, 70 hazar farishte uss ke liye dua karte hain, aur usse jannat me apne hisse ka phal milega.[8]
