Question: What does the word Abd (worshipper) mean?
Answer: The word Abd 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.
