IntroductionGod is the Sustainer of the worlds.

The word”Rabb” is a basic word it has many branches and uses. It is a basic word in the sense that Raghib Isphahani has explained:’ “It means to arrange and put something on the path to perfection.”

The Maqayis ol Loghata has defined certain basic meanings: A person who amends something and is steadfast on I; One imposes something and is steadfast about it and to join to things. But as has been defined in the a book Al Tahqiq Fi Kalimat al Qura’n all these meanings revert to the same point and it can be interpreted as : Lord and lordship means to put something like materials, spiritual, personal , beliefs, attributes and behavior towards betterment and keep it away from the path of decadence.

In doing this great work other meanings like reformation, arrangement, rulership, ownership companionship, leadership, congregation, education, and feeding are included so all their meanings are inculcated in it. This is the reason that it has many meanings in the dictionaries like Lisan ol Arab says, “Rabb” is used for God and for worldly owners, bosses, managers, elders, guardian and sustainer.

The conclusion is that it basically means, to nurture, educate and take towards perfection and all other collateral meanings have been attached to it and this is the reason like many other languages the word “Rabb” in Farsi means God and it includes all other meanings.(1)

What we discern from the Ulema’s explanation is that the word “Rabb’ is used for God because He is the owner of all things, the inheritor and the rulers but if the word is used for others then it will have other connotations like “the owner of the House”, the owner of the Camel, or the nurturer or educator of a child. (2)

When it is used for God it may denote many facets of His Lordship and His attributes like ownership, command, guardianship and sustainership etc. The origin of “Tadbir” is “Dobr” which means to come behind something; Tadabbur denotes that successful completion of something and this cannot be done without knowledge and wisdom. This is why the word “Mudabbir” is used for the person who has the capacity to look at all sides of a work, complete it successfully and have the complete knowledge about it. (3)

 


 

1.Remember the origin of the word “Rabb” is “Rabab” like the origin of the word ‘Tarbiyat” is “Rabu”. From the meanings we find in the dictionary we discern that Rabb and Rabawa both have the same meaning. Allama Tabrisi has used both the words in the same context in Majmaul Bayan ol. 1 page 32.
2. See Lisan ol Arab, Mafuradat Raghib, and Qamusol Logha for the meaning of Rabb.
3. See Maqayis ol Loghata, Tahqiq Fi Kalimati Qura’n and Mafuradat of Raghib.
