Maalik

In Islamic belief, Maalik (Arabic: مَٰلِكُ, romanizedmālik)[1][a] denotes an angel in Hell/Purgatory (Arabic: جهنم, romanizedjahannam) who guarded the Hellfire and assisted by other angel guards (Q74:30) known as Zabaniyah (Arabic: الزبانية, romanizedaz-zabānīya). In the Qur'an, Maalik is mentioned in Surah Az-Zukhruf 43:77 as the chief of angels of hell. The earliest codices offer various alternative spellings of this word including malak, meaning "angel", instead of a proper name.[3]
