In Surah Al-Jum'ah (The Congregation), specifically in verse 1, the word 'Al-Malik' appears as one of the attributes of Allah. The verse is as follows:

سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ

'Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is exalting Allah, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.'

In this context, 'Al-Malik' (الْمَلِكِ) translates to 'The Sovereign' or 'The King.' It signifies Allah's supreme authority and dominion over all creation. Allah is depicted as the ultimate ruler and owner of everything in existence, highlighting His absolute power, control, and governance (rule) over the universe. The term emphasizes His unmatched sovereignty and leadership, asserting that all things are under His command and that He is the source of all laws and order in the cosmos.

Notice that the ultimate ownership, rule, and control rest with none other than Allah. While governments may govern, their control is limited; they cannot fully prevent crime. Similarly, we may possess our bodies, but we cannot completely control them, as seen with conditions like high cholesterol or diabetes. True power does not need to be flaunted. The apparent inability of governments to assert total control highlights their inherent weaknesses. In the same way, God does not need to be visible to manifest His might.

'In the same way, God does not need to be visible to manifest His might.' Mic drop!

'PERFECT IMPERFECTIONS'.
I remember this being a catch phrase in social media a few years ago. 

Perfection is only with Allah.
Only Allah is Perfect in His Perfection.

سبحان لله 
SubhanAllah.
In the Quran, 7 Surahs begin with declaring and attesting Allah's Perfection.
My 2021 Quran study included 6 of the 7 Surah Musabbihaat. 

I glorify Allah as I traversed fleeting green pastures and am reminded of my fleeting worldly life (al 'Alaa)
I glorify Allah as I learn of Allah's Perfect Justice in the endings of the believers and the disbelievers (at Taghabun)
I glorify Allah as I saw that some of the Blessed Companions got distracted with worldly life and got admonished (al Jumu'a)
I glorify Allah as I felt the strength of being part of the ummah standing in solid lines (al Saff)
I glorify Allah as I silently celebrated the expulsion of the betraying Jews (al Hashr)
I glorify Allah as I got terrified by the 'wall' separating the believers from the disbelievers (al Hadid).

I look forward to complete the 7 when I 'travel' to Al Aqsa in Surat al-Isra', soon, in sha Allah!

I leave 2021 with Alhamdulillah as 
I enter 2022 with Bismillah  whilst constantly attesting and declaring His Perfection,
Bi idznillah.

Allhamdulillah that there is amzing people like you that shared such and amzing dua may allah make your wonderful ameen

Quddūs is an aggrandizement of the root word q-d-s (ق-د-س), and can mean ‘pure’, ‘holy’ or ‘blessed’. It tells us that God Almighty is pure from any defect and purified from anything blameworthy. Another meaning of Quddūs is that God Almighty purifies the hearts and souls of His worshippers, but what God Almighty Himself is purified from may be something that is necessary for humans. A person who does not sleep is an insomniac and most likely needs treatment. With God Almighty, His non-sleep shows His self-sufficiency. And according to Imam Al-Qurtubi, the name Al-Quddūs also describes the One who is glorified and revered by the angels. As Ibn Al-Qayyim reminds us, Al-Quddūs is too pure and holy to ever act with oppression. This is important to keep in mind and comprehend, so that we do not attribute blameworthy human attributes to God Almighty. Sheikh Abdulrazzaq Al-Badr shows that the Name Al-Quddūs comes with the Name Al-Malik in the Qur’an, which means the Sovereign or King. When people hear that God is King, that could be a neutral attribute, or it could even be a negative one if they have had bad experiences with oppressive kings. Hence, God Almighty tells us that He is 'Al-Malik Al-Quddūs', reminding us not to get confused. He is the King, but He is Pure and so He acts with ultimate justice. There is no oppression under Him.
