مالک (Mālik) is an Arabic term that translates to "owner" or "master." It is commonly used in various contexts, including property ownership, business management, and even in religious texts. In Islamic tradition, the term is often associated with Allah, who is referred to as "مَالِكُ الْمُلْكِ" (Mālik al-Mulk), meaning "Master of the Kingdom." In a legal context, a مالک holds rights and responsibilities over a particular asset, such as land or a business. This role can involve making decisions about the use, management, and transfer of the property. The concept of مالک is essential in discussions about ownership rights and responsibilities in many cultures.
