Abstract (EN)

In our declaration, we will mainly discuss the concrete concepts that are specific to the sovereignty of Allah in the Quran, and we will also touch upon various expressions related to property. The word property, which is one of the concepts in the Quran, includes meanings such as owning something, managing it, keeping it under control. In Islamic terminology, it is a concept reserved for God and, in part, for humans, in the context of the universe and its contents, as well as their sovereignty. Property, which has had an important place among human societies throughout history and caused troubles that could even lead to wars, has found a response in social sciences such as sociology, philosophy and economics, as well as religions. The word "mulk" appears in the verses with three aspects: Allah''s sovereignty over the entire universe, people's power in a positive and negative sense, and property. God gives the property desired by people to whomever He wishes, but He does not want the property to be given to those who are dissolute. We see that the concept usually comes with the phrase lillahi velehu in the verses attributed to Allah. Expressions such as arsh and istiwa, which are semantically close to mulk, were also included in the dirâyet and ishari tafsir, with other commentators making various comments in addition to the narration tafsir. In the Quran, it is discussed together with abstract and concrete concepts in both Meccan and Madani surahs. One of the principles of faith is that absolute and eternal belonging belongs to Allah, and that those who exceed the limits in this regard are involved in polytheism. We see that abstract issues such as the unseen, intercession and guardianship, which have been disputed in the science of theology apart from tafsir, are made specific to the essence of Allah in the verses. This situation gives important signals to the addressees of the revelation in terms of evaluating the relevant issues. In addition, their main subject is in the Quran, entities such as mosques, spoils, east-west, earth-sky are especially attributed to Allah's property, and it is emphasized that the universal authority over them belongs only to Allah, as required by the principle of monotheism. As a result, a more sincere belief in God's attributes related to this concept through a correct understanding of mulk will help to balance the concept of this world and the afterlife.
