Malik (disambiguation)

Malik is the Arabic for "king, chieftain".

By analogy, the word malik is also used in the weaker meaning of 'chief' in various modest titles, such as, in Persian:

  • Malik ul-Shu'ara: 'King of the Poets'; i.e. poet laureate.
  • Malik ul-Tujjar: 'King of the Merchants', an office held by the head of the merchant community in each town or city.
  • Maalik the hell guardian (angel who guards the Hellfire)
