Juz Amma
Allah is described as the sole Master of the Day when every deed is judged. Some reciters read Mālik (Owner) and others Malik (King) — both are authentic recitations, and scholars note the two meanings complement one another: complete ownership and complete authority on that Day.
The value of any deed depends on the intention behind it. Two people may perform the same outward action and receive entirely different rewards. Scholars call this one of the hadith on which the whole religion turns.
The narration continues with the example of migration: whoever migrated for Allah and His Messenger, his migration is for them; whoever migrated for worldly gain or marriage, his migration is for that. Imam al-Bukhari opened his collection with it.
