A--- Abd¹ so'zining ma'nosi bo'ysundirilgan yoki itoatga keltirilgan degan ma'noni anglatadi. Bu ma'no barcha yaratiqlarni o'z ichiga oladi: yuksak va past, aql egasi va aqlsiz, jonli va jonsiz, harakatchan va qo'zg'almas, zohiriy va yashirin, imon keltirgan va kufr keltirgan, taqvodor va buzuq va boshqalar; ularning barchasini Alloh subhanahu va taolo yaratgan. Ular Unga bo'ysunadilar va faqat Uning O'zi tomonidan boshqariladilar. Bundan tashqari, ularning har biri o'z chegarasi va maqsadiga ega, har biri o'z yo'lini bosib o'tadi yoki belgilangan muddatga ega. Bu - qudrat egasi, hikmat egasi bo'lgan (Alloh)ning hukmi va tartibidir. Agar nazarda tutilgan ma'no kamtarin, Allohni sevuvchi ibodatchi bo'lsa, bu holda u faqat Allohning mukarram bandalari va taqvodor, Unga itoatkor bo'lgan iymon keltirgan erkaklar va ayollarga nisbatan qo'llanadi; ularga na qo'rquv bor, na ular g'amgin bo'ladilar.

A--- The word Abd1 means the subdued or subjugated. This meaning encompasses all sorts of creation: higher and lower, rational and reasonless, animate and inanimate, dynamic and static, apparent and hidden, believing and disbelieving, and pious and dissolute, etc.; all of which are created by Allah he Almighty. They are subjected to Him, and managed by Him Alone. Moreover, all of them have a limit and destination and each one runs (its course) or an appointed term. Such is the judgment and ordering of (Him), the Exalted in Power, the Omniscient. And if the intended sense is the modest God-loving worshiper), in this case it refers only to the believing men and women who are Allah's honorable slaves and pious godly ones; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
