Explaining the aspect of Allah specifying His ownership to the Day of Judgment, even though He is the Owner of this world and the Hereafter.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Because His ownership is fully manifested on that day. On that day, the ownership of every king vanishes. Allah the Exalted said:
The Day they come forth nothing concerning them will be concealed from Allah. To whom belongs [all] sovereignty this Day? To Allah, the One, the Prevailing. يوم هم بارزون لا يخفى على الله منهم شيء لمن الملك اليوم لله الواحد القهار
[Ghafir 40:16]
There is no ownership for anyone. All forms of ownership vanish except the ownership of the Lord, Mighty and Majestic. Therefore, He said "Owner of the Day of Judgment." As for this world, there are kings in it, there are kings, but in the Hereafter there are no kings. The great and the small are equal, the master and the slave are equal, and the male and the female are equal. People will be gathered barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised. And the brother, explain to me what "barefoot" means?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, do they have no clothing? Do they have no shoes? Do you walk barefoot here in this world?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : You do not walk barefoot, did not the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say, did not the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say
He forbade excessive comfort and commanded wearing sandals at times. نهى عن كثرة الإرفاه وأمر بالاحتفاء أحيانا
? Yes, did you do it?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Okay, so "barefoot" means they have no sandals, "naked" means they have no cloak or clothing, and "uncircumcised" means not circumcised. The foreskin that is removed and cut off by circumcision returns on the Day of Resurrection, as He the Exalted said:
As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it. كما بدأنا أول خلق نعيده وعدا علينا إنا كنا فاعلين
[Al-Anbya 21:104]
Okay, it is mentioned in Musnad Ahmad:
barefoot بُهما
barefoot بُهما
, meaning they have no wealth, they have no wealth. They will be gathered like this. One of the Mothers of the Believers said:
O Messenger of Allah, are men and women equal in that they look at one another? He said: The matter is greater than that they should be preoccupied with it. يا رسول الله الرجال والنساء سواء ينظر بعضهم إلى بعض ؟ قال الأمر أعظم من أن يهمهم ذلك
(34) On the Day a man will flee from his brother (35) And his mother and his father (36) And his wife and his children, (37) For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him. يوم يفر المرء من أخيه وأمه وأبيه وصاحبته وبنيه لكل امرءٍ منهم يومئذٍ شأن يغنيه
['Abasa 80:34-37]
We ask Allah to make it an easy day for us and for you. It is a severe and difficult day, but it is easy for the believers. Okay, so the ownership was specified to the Day of Judgment because the ownership is manifested in it for Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and because there are kings in this world, whereas in the Hereafter there is only the One King, the Subduer, Mighty and Majestic. Okay,
You alone we worship إياك نعبد
, shall we proceed or is it time for questions?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Or the hadith, yes, okay, let us limit it to this, if Allah wills, and we will complete it tomorrow. There will be exam questions tomorrow on what we have decided today, and we do not allow anyone to ask his brother. Okay, let us read the hadith, come on.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : No, no, the hadith of Jabir, the hadith of Jabir, read it.
The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and blessings and peace be upon the noblest of the prophets and messengers.

The Shaykh : (peace and blessings be upon him)
