In {{qref|43|77|pl=y}} and the following, the Qur'an describes Maalik telling the people in hell that they must remain there:
In {{cite Quran|43|74|s=ns|b=n}} and the following, the Qur'an describes Maalik telling the people in hell that they must remain there: "Surely, the disbelievers will be in the torment of hell to abide therein forever. [The torment] will not be lightened for them, and they will be plunged into destruction with deep regrets, sorrows and in despair therein. We wronged them not, but they were the wrongdoers. And they will cry: 'O Malik! Let your Lord make an end of us!' He will say: 'Surely, you shall abide forever.' Indeed we have brought the truth to you, but most of you have a hatred for the truth." {{cite quran|66|6|s=ns|b=n}} points out, that the punishments are carried out by God's command: "O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a fire [Jahannam] whose fuel is men and stones, over which are [appointed] angels stern and severe, who flinch not [from executing] the commands they receive from God, but do [precisely] what they are commanded".
{{blockquote|Indeed, the wicked will be in the torment of Hell forever. It will never be lightened for them, and there they will be overwhelmed with despair. We did not wrong them, but it was they who were the wrongdoers. They will cry, "O Mâlik! Let your Lord finish us off." He will answer, "You are definitely here to stay." We certainly brought the truth to you, but most of you were resentful of the truth.|{{qref|43|74-78|c=y}}}}

{{qref|66|6|c=y|pl=y}} points out, that the punishments are carried out by God's command: "O believers! Protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, overseen by formidable and severe angels, who never disobey whatever Allah orders—always doing as commanded."
 
== In Muhammad's Night JourneyHadith ==
{{Main|Isra and Mi'raj}}
According to Islamic tradition, [[Muhammad in Islam|Muhammad]] met the angel Maalik during his [[Isra and Mi'raj|heavenly journey]]. Therefore, Muhammad arrived in heaven and all the angels greeted him with a smile except Maalik. When Muhammad asked [[Gabriel#Islam|Jibra'il]], why he remains taciturn therefore, he reveals Maalik as the guardian of Hell who never smiles. After that, Muhammed asked him to show Hell and Maalik opened its gates, showing him a glimpse of suffering for the inmates.<ref>Alan E.

According to Abbasid jurist [[Ibn Qutaybah]], who's also known as Al-Qutb, the number of fingers Maalik possessed are equal to the sinners who would be thrown into hell.<ref name="Misteri Alam Malaikat">{{cite book |year=2021 |author=Imam Jalaluddin Abdurrahman As-Suyuthi |title=Misteri Alam Malaikat |publisher=Al-Kautsar |isbn=9789795929512 |page=72 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iDxQEAAAQBAJ |access-date=1 August 2023 |language=id |format=ebook |quote=53 dalam kitab 'Uyun Al-Akhbar melansir dari Thawus bahwa Allahkmenciptakan Malik, dan menciptakan untuknya jari-jari sejumlah penghuni neraka.}}</ref> Ibn Qutaybah also narrated that each of Maalik's fingers are extremely hot, that if one of them touched the sky; that finger will cause the sky to melt.<ref name="Misteri Alam Malaikat" /> al-Suyuti also quoted that since his creation which spans a thousand years before hell's formation, Maalik's strength always grow infinitely over the time as each day passed.<ref name="Misteri Alam Malaikat" /> Ibn Hisham narrated that in several [[Hadith]]s, Muhammad has met Maalik on one occasion and described that the angel possessed a very disgustingly ugly face.<ref name="Misteri Alam Malaikat" /> In one narration of Hadith, Maalik's true face is so ugly beyond comprehension, that if any human in their lifetime saw him, they would be killed in suffering and anguish just by merely bearing witness of Maalik's ugliness.<ref name="Misteri Alam Malaikat" />
 
Medieval Hagiographer [[Ibn Ishaq]] has narrated hadith about Isra Mi'raj, where during his journey to the sky, Muhammad noticed that among the angels who greeted him, Maalik was one of them, who, unlike the other angels, never showed a smile or any sign of joy.<ref name="MALAIKAT MALIK A.S : PENJAGA NERAKA">{{cite book |author1=Mansur Abdul Hakim |title=Malaikat Malik A.S : Penjaga Neraka |date=2015 |publisher=9789678605250 |pages=9–10; 15–16 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nA5wCgAAQBAJ |access-date=5 November 2023 |language=Malay |quote=... malaikat yang lain."
