To Him belongs the Sovereignty

“He to Whom belongs the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth: Who has begotten no son: Who has no partner in His Sovereignty: Who created each and every thing and then ordained its destiny.”
(Al-Qur'an – 25:2)

The expression 'He to Whom belongs the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth' means He alone has an exclusive right to it, and no one else has any right to it nor any share in it. 'Who has begotten no son' means that God has neither any relation of direct parenthood to anyone, nor has He taken anyone as a son. Therefore, none else in the universe is entitled to worship. He is Unique and there can be no partner in His Godhead. Thus all those who associate with Him angels or jinns or saints as His offspring, are ignorant. Likewise, those who believe that some one is His “son” are also ignorant. They have no true conception of the Greatness of Allah and consider Him to be weak and needy like human beings, who require some one to become their inheritor. It is sheer ignorance and folly.”
The Arabic word mulk means Sovereignty, Supreme Authority, and Kingship. Thus the sentence will mean: “Allah is the Absolute Ruler of the whole universe and there is none other who may have any right to authority; therefore He alone is God.” For whenever a man takes anything else as his lord, he does so under the presumption that his deity has the power to do good or bring harm and make or mar his fortune; nobody will like to worship a powerless deity. Now when it is recognised that none but Allah has the real power and authority in the universe, nobody will bow before anyone other than Him in worship, nor will sing anybody else's hymns, nor commit the folly of bowing in worship before any thing else except his real God, or recognise any other as his ruler, because “To Allah belongs the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and to Him alone.”
