The Prohibition Of The Names Malik Al-Amlak Or Malik Al-Muluk "King Of Kings"
Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: The vilest name in Allah's sight is Malik al-Amidh (King of Kings). The narration transmitted on the authority of Shaiba (contains these words): There is no king but Allah, the Exalted and Glorious. Sufyan said: Similarly, the word Shahinshah (is also the vilest appellation). Ahmad bin Hanbal said: I asked Abu 'Amr about the meaning of Akhna. He said: The vilest.
