Maliki Yawm id-Deen
مالك يوم الدين
This is a continuation of the preceding ayah, which said that although Allah is incredibly forgiving and kind always, He is also the Owner and the Ruler of the Day of Judgment to prevent someone from abusing His mercy to do crimes.
The first word of the Quran is sometimes pronounced Maalik with an extended 'aa' sound (which denotes owner), while other times it is pronounced Malik without an extension (which signifies king). It is intriguing how these two recitations encompass a thorough explanation of Allah and His relationship to the day of judgement while quietly imparting significantly different meanings. This is so because a King is used to refer to ownership over vast areas of land or nations, whilst an Owner is used to refer to ownership over smaller areas of land or homes. The linguistic link is intriguing since Allah is the Owner of the people's minor actions that are going to be counted and the King of the huge things that will occur on the day of judgement, which is a great day and will endure for a long period of time.It's also significant that the word "Day" has been added. To completely grasp, picture a person carrying a bag. If they own the bag, they often own everything within it as well. If Allah owns the "Day" of judgement, then logically and naturally He also owns everything will transpire at that moment. Also keep in mind that time cannot be owned by humans or any other created entity or object. While we may want to think that we do, the truth is that we have no influence over anything that occurs to us during that period, let alone everything that occurs anyplace else in the vast cosmos that Allah created. As a result, because Allah owns the Day of Judgment, He owns everything that occurs throughout it. People can act like they are owners and rulers in this world, but on the Day of Judgment, only Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'aala will be the owner, king, and sovereign.

, There is also another comparison between this ayah and the one before it. This sums up the idea behind the judgement, accounting, and judgement on that Day. Be aware that although Allah addressed His kindness in the ayah before, He did not mention retribution; instead, He referred to it as justice. This is accurate because, on the Day of Judgment, there will only be two kinds of people: those who get Allah's kindness and those who receive His judgement.
Everything a person needs to know about Allah is included in these three ayaat. This serves as His entire introduction. And just like any other knowledge, this one should produce outcomes. The following ayah is reached after all these portrayals of Allah.
