5.The Attribute of Sovereignty
5. The Attribute of Sovereignty:
This Attribute is mentioned in the Saying of the Most High, {Say, "Oh Allah! Possessor of the kingdom…"}[Al-`Imran 3: 26]
Indeed, Allah (Mighty & Majestic) is the King, Sovereign over all things. He is the King of the Visible and Unseen Worlds. Allah (Glorious & Exalted) is the King in the Absolute, Eternal, Infinite sense.
This Attribute is also mentioned in the Saying of the Most High, {So, Exalted be Allah, the True King, none has the right to be worshipped but Him, the Lord of the Supreme Throne!}[Al-Mu'minoon 23: 116]
Allah (Mighty & Majestic) is the King to Whom belongs the right to command and prohibit in His kingdom. He is the One Who may administer His creation freely, giving orders and acting independently; no one has any preference over Him in doing what He pleases with His kingdom.
He (Noble & Sublime) does what He wills and what He wants according to what His Complete, Ultimate Wisdom requires of Him, as it says in the following Saying of the Most High, {He does what He intends.}[Al-Burooj 85: 16]
Allah (Mighty & Majestic) is the True, Permanent King. There is no Creator for this universe besides Him, and no Designer for it besides Him (Noble & Sublime).
