-'Abd al-Malik memorized the [[Holy Quran]] and he was interested in religious teachings before he become the caliph. He had discussions and a close relationship with [[hadith]] scholars and [[faqihs]] in [[Medina]]. He was regarded as a vitreous and religious man among people. 'Abd al-Malik was also called "Hamamat al-Masjid" (the pigeon of mosque). However, when he came to power, he refused to obey Islamic and ethical values. It is said, he was reciting the Quran when he was told that he became the caliph. Then he left immediately and said: "Now you (Quran) and I are departed and it will be the last time I see you."
+'Abd al-Malik memorized the [[Qur'an]] and he was interested in religious teachings before he become the caliph. He had discussions and a close relationship with [[hadith]] scholars and [[jurists]] in [[Medina]]. He was regarded as a vitreous and religious man among people. 'Abd al-Malik was also called "Hamamat al-Masjid" (the pigeon of mosque). However, when he came to power, he refused to obey Islamic and ethical values. It is said, he was reciting the Quran when he was told that he became the caliph. Then he left immediately and said: "Now you (Qur'an) and I are departed and it will be the last time I see you."
 'Abd al-Malik was a stingy and violent man, he was not afraid to kill his oppositions. His close supporters and representatives were treating just like him including: [[al-Hajjaj b. Yusuf al-Thaqafi]] (his agent in [[Iraq]]), al-Muhallab b. Abi Sufra (his agent in [[Khorasan]]), Hisham b. Isma'il (his agent in [[Medina]]), his son 'Abd Allah b. 'Abd al-Malik in [[Egypt]], Muhammad b. Yusuf al-Thaqafi (al-Hajjaj's brother in [[Yemen]]), and Muhammad b. Marwan in Jazira.
