The Lord of All Kingdoms - Mālik-ul-Mulk

Mālik-ul-Mulk, Owner of all Sovereignty

You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.’” (Qur’an, 3:26) Mālik means a possessor, while Malik means that you have sovereignty over something and can do with it as you wish. And God Almighty (exalted is He) is both Maalik and Malik. He fully controls and has ownership over the Day of Judgment and what occurs therein.
