A---"عَبْد"这个词的意思是被制服、被奴役的人。这一含义涵盖了一切受造物：高等与低等、有理性与无理性、有生命与无生命、动态与静态、显露与隐藏、信道者与不信道者、虔诚者与放荡者等等，它们都是安拉至高无上所创造的。它们臣服于祂，并唯独由祂来管理。此外，它们每一个都有其极限和归宿，每一个都按照规定的期限运行。这就是全能、全知的至尊者（安拉）的裁决与安排。如果所指的意思是谦卑、爱主的崇拜者，那么这时它仅指信道的男人和女人，他们是安拉尊贵的仆人、虔诚敬畏的人；他们无所畏惧，也不会忧愁。

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.
