﴿فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ لا إِلَهَ إِلا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ﴾
Exalted is Allah, the True Sovereign; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.
الْمَلِكُ the Sovereign
This noun stands in apposition to the divine name, renaming the same one as the Sovereign, and it copies the nominative ending and definiteness to match. Apposition like this lets Arabic stack titles on a subject simply by agreeing them in case.
أرسل إليه ملك من ملوك اليونان بقناطير من الذهب حتى يسير إليه فأبى،
A king from among the kings of Greece sent to him loads of gold so that he would come to him, but he refused.
مَلِكٌ a king
This is the delayed subject of 'sent', 'a king', carrying the subject ending and left indefinite, so it means some king rather than a known one. Arabic readily places the subject after the verb like this.
