Continuation of the explanation of the words of Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him): He said, Muhammad is Ibn Malik *** I praise my Lord, Allah, the best of owners

The Shaykh : Deaf from it:
"Ibn Taymiyyah rose to defend our Shari'ah *** in the position of the master of Taym when Mudhar rebelled" The master of Taym is Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). The rebellion of Mudhar was in the apostasy and praise. When the Shaykh al-Islam arrived in Egypt, a debate took place between him and Abu Hayyan regarding grammar. Abu Hayyan argued against the Shaykh al-Islam with what is in the book of Sibawayh, saying: "What you mentioned contradicts what is in the book." He said: "Which book?" He said: "The book of Sibawayh." He said: "Is Sibawayh the prophet of grammar such that we must follow him? Sibawayh made more than eighty errors in his book, in more than eighty places that neither you nor Sibawayh knows." So the man became heated and angry, and he composed a poem mocking him. What can we say? It has no horns and no ears; it is deaf. He mocked him because he spoke to him in this manner. In any case, the important point is that praise is describing the one being praised with perfection, along with love and magnification.
"I praise my Lord, Allah" He did not say "I praise Allah, my Lord," but rather he started with Lordship because the occasion is one of seeking help, and Lordship is more related to seeking help than Divinity. Divinity is for worship, and seeking help is more related to Lordship. For this reason, he said: "I praise my Lord"
And his saying: "Allah" is an explanatory apposition clarifying whose Lord it is; it is Allah. The term "Lord" (Rabb) originally refers to anyone who has authority over something, so he is its Lord. That is why the owner of a beast is called the Lord of the beast, and the owner of a house is called the Lord of the house. But regarding the Lord who is Allah (Mighty and Majestic), we say in its interpretation: He is the Creator, the Owner, and the Manager. The Creator, the Owner, and the Manager. Absolute ownership does not exist except for Allah, absolute creation does not exist except for Allah, and absolute management does not exist except for Allah. So whatever creation is attributed to the created is not creation in the true sense, but rather it is change. In the hadith, it is said regarding the image-makers: Did they create? No, they only changed a thing from one thing to another. As for bringing into existence, this does not happen except for Allah. So creation attributed to the created is not creation in the true sense, but what is it? It is only change and transformation; they changed it from one thing to another.
Likewise, ownership. True ownership belongs to Allah, and ownership attributed to the created is not absolute ownership, but rather it is limited ownership in its scope and limited in its management. It is limited in its scope because the owner among the created only owns what is under his hand, and what is with others is not his. It is also limited in its management, for the owner does not have the power to dispose of everything as he wishes, but only according to what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has legislated. Yes, that is right.
"Allah" is the One who is worshipped. "The One who is worshipped" means the One who is worshipped with love and magnification. And his saying: "the best of owners" is one of the attributes of Lordship, meaning that He, Glorified and Exalted is He, is the best of owners, even in the calamities and disasters that befall the servant; they are good. As the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . "I praise my Lord, Allah, the best of owners" .

Bring to life what you have created.
أحيوا ما خلقتمLikewise, ownership.
