The Dominion of the Heavens and the Earth

This verse reminds us that everything belongs to Allah.

أَلَمۡ تَعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ

Do you not know that to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth?

Quran, Al-Ma'ida 5:40

This verse affirms that Allah owns the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He punishes whom He wills and forgives whom He wills. He is All-Powerful. This total sovereignty is a source of trust: nothing escapes Him.

When a situation overwhelms us, we can remember that the Master of everything is Allah. This calms the heart and invites us to entrust our affairs to Him.

Today, take a minute to say: "To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth" and reflect on how this changes your day.
