Malik al-Mulk

Name 84 / 99

مَالِكُ الْمُلْكِ

The Owner of All Sovereignty

This name in the Quran

Each ayah below was read in its context and confirmed by two independent reviews, on one question: does this word name Allah here. Where the two disagreed the ayah was dropped. Some of them carry the name as a verb or in another form rather than as the noun itself.

  1. قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ مَٰلِكَ ٱلۡمُلۡكِ تُؤۡتِي ٱلۡمُلۡكَ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَنزِعُ ٱلۡمُلۡكَ مِمَّن تَشَآءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَآءُۖ بِيَدِكَ ٱلۡخَيۡرُۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ

    Say, "O Allāh, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand121 is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.

Malik al-Mulk is name 84 of the 99. A plain search of the Arabic text finds this word form in one ayah. The one ayah listed above is a different measurement: what the app's reviewers accepted as naming Allah here, and it may carry the name as a verb or in another form, so the two numbers need not match.
