Why would you ask a muslims a question like that when we dont accept anything from the Bible unless the Quran comfirms it ? You should know better being that you were formerly a muslim.
I also would like you to look up the word "Malik" in your Arabic and hebrew dictionaries that you may have. The Angels full name is Malik-ul-Jahannam and there is another Angel called Malik-ul-Mawt as I mentioned above. There are two angles called Malik as this word signifies "Angel" in its context title usage. We Arabic speakers when we read Malik-ul-Jahannam or Malik-ul-Mawt the word "Malik" is understood not just as "a possesor of power and authority" but also to denote "angel".
The same word for Angel in Arabic is the same word used in Hebrew in which all of them are derived from the semetic root "mlk" including the Hebrew word Molech that you mentioned. Also the word king applied to David even to G-d as mentioned in the old testament is also derived from the same root.
Now as for the Molech you speak about has no association with Malik-ul-Jahannam which is speaking of unseen realities to the contrary of your reference to the Bible that makes Mention of Molech an Idol whom people sacrificed their children in fire for in a place describef as the valley of Gehennem which was a physical place on earth, whom was not called Molech of gehennem.
Yes I know you don't accept the Bible over the Qur'an, just hoping that someone will see the problem that I have raised. That being that Islam has taken a historical reality out of context.
Ancient pagans worshipped
Molech, and sacrificed children to him through the
fire in
Gehhinnom.
Nowadays Muslims hold
Malik to be the angel in charge of punishing disbelievers with
fire in
Jahannum.
Is this a coincidence?
I know that there is an angel called Malikul-Mawt (angel of death), but that is not his name, his name is Azra'eel.
However, Malikul-Jahannnum is never called by the compound title "Malikul-Jahannum, he is simply called Malik by name!
By the way, Molech is not from the same root as Malik, Molech is a hypercortistocon of the name Melek, Melek is from the same root as Malik.
