Spelling of the word "Maalik" in the Quraan
Q: In Surah Fatihah, I have been exposed to two variants of the word “Maalik”:
1. Meem-aleef laam kaaf: tanzil.net/#1:4
2. Meem laam kaaf: quran.com/1/4-14
Could you please give an authoritative, comprehensive explanation to this geared towards the layman - which includes possible associated translation issues?
