الخافض
Al-Khafid
Mwenye Kushusha
Maana
Al-Khafid ni Yule anayeshusha na kudhalilisha wale wanaostahili kunyenyekezwa. Anawashusha madhalimu kutoka viti vyao vya enzi, anaangusha milki iliyojengwa juu ya dhuluma, na anawanyenyekeza wenye kiburi. Historia imejaa mifano ya kazi ya Al-Khafid — Firauni, Namrudi, na kila dhalimu aliyejidhania kuwa hashindiki hatimaye walishushwa. Jina hili linatumika kama onyo lenye nguvu dhidi ya kiburi na ukiukaji. Linatukumbusha kwamba hakuna nafasi ya nguvu ya kudumu, hakuna hadhi iliyothibitishwa, na hakuna binadamu aliye juu ya kunyenyekezwa. Wakati huo huo, linatoa matumaini kwa walioonewa — kwamba wadhalimu wao watashushwa na Yule anayedhalilisha wote wanaoasi mpangilio wake.
Katika Quran
Surah Al-Waqi'ah (56:3): "It will bring down some and raise up others."
Tafakari ya Kila Siku
Wapi kiburi kinaweza kuwa kimejificha katika tabia yako? Al-Khafid anawanyenyekeza wale wanaokataa kujinyenyekeza. Je, si bora kuchagua unyenyekevu?
