The directory permissons says
Owner: root, Group: root, Others: cannot access
I think you created the directory as user root.
Change the directorys permissons with
sudo chown malik.malik /home/malik
The sudo command gives you temporary root permissons for a specified command. If you want to get temporary root permissons for more than one command use
sudo su
Take a look here about linux file / directory permissons (LPIC)
About the seconde error message: su - malik
It seams to me that you have not set a home directory for the user malik. You find this settings in /etc/passwd. It should look like
malik:x:1000:1000:malik:/home/malik:/bin/bash
Hope that helps.
Best, me
