==Compound ruler titles== [[File:Ralamb-2.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|Ottoman Sultan [[Mehmed IV]] attended by a eunuch and two pages]] These are generally secondary titles, either lofty 'poetry' or with a message, e.g.: *''Mani Sultan'' β ''Manney Sultan'' (meaning the "Pearl of Rulers" or "Honoured Monarch") β a subsidiary title, part of the full style of the [[Maharaja]] of [[Travancore]] * ''[[Sultan of Sultans]]'' β the sultanic equivalent of the style [[King of Kings]] * Certain secondary titles have a devout Islamic connotation; e.g., [[Sultan ul-Mujahidin]] as champion of [[jihad]] (to strive and to struggle in the name of Allah). * ''Sultanic Highness'' β a rare, hybrid western-Islamic honorific style exclusively used by the son, daughter-in-law and daughters of Sultan [[Hussein Kamel of Egypt]] (a [[History of Egypt under the British|British protectorate]] since 1914), who bore it with their primary titles of [[Prince]] (''{{Transliteration|ar|[[Amir]]}}''; {{Langx|tr|[[Prens]]}}) or [[Princess]], after 11 October 1917. They enjoyed these titles for life, even after the Royal Rescript regulating the styles and titles of the Royal House following Egypt's [[Unilateral Declaration of Egyptian Independence|independence in 1922]], when the sons and daughters of the newly styled king (''{{Transliteration|ar|[[malik]] Misr}}'', considered a promotion) were granted the title {{Transliteration|ar|Sahib(at) us-Sumuw al-Malaki}}, or [[Royal Highness]]. *''Sultan-ul-Qaum'' β a title meaning King of the Nation, given to 18th-century [[Sikh]] leader [[Jassa Singh Ahluwalia]] by his supporters
