(… قُلِ ) (Say…): Prophet Muhammad (saws) has conveyed the Holy Quran literally and never left anything out. This is a miracle of the Book of Allah (swt) and a preciseness and honesty of the delivery by Prophet Muhammad (saws).

In general, there is property, ownership and realm. The latter is the unknown. Allah (swt) says:

 {وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُرِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَلَكُوتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلِيَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُوقِنِينَ}

(And thus did We show Abraham the realm of the heavens and the earth that he would be among the certain [in faith].) (Al-An’aam: 75)

(… مَالِكَ الْمُلْكِ …) (…Owner of Sovereignty …): There is a sovereign and an owner. The latter has a private or personal, while the former has who owns. In this context, the one who has the country is called the king, the sovereign, whereas the owner is the one who has a car or a cloth … etc. In (Al-Fatiha), for example, there are two different readings for the word sovereign (in Arabic) for:

 {مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ}

(Sovereign of the Day of Recompense.

It’s read either as (Maaleek) or (Maalek) because Allah (swt) is the exclusive sovereign of the Day of Recompense, and no one can claim otherwise.

Allah (swt) is the sovereign over everything who has control over all the creatures.

(… تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَن تَشَاءُ وَتَنزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّن تَشَاءُ …) (…You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will …): Man owns by virtue of the earthly reasons. However, (You take sovereignty away) indicates that whoever has sovereignty leave it only by force.

(… بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ …) (…In Your hand is [all] good …): The good is that Allah honors whom He wills and gives sovereignty to whom He wills. However, the question here is taking sovereignty out or humbling good? Everything by Allah (swt) is good even if it seemed to be bad; and there might be something good you don’t know in what seems to be a curse. Allah (swt), however, knows the good:

 {وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ }

(But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.) (Al-Baqara: 216)
