Description
The Arabic root ذلل (dh-l-l) carries the core semantic meaning of lowness, submission, and being made subservient or manageable. In the Quran, it appears in contexts describing both negative states like humiliation and disgrace imposed on the disobedient, as well as positive states like the taming of animals for human benefit and the humble submissiveness that believers should show before Allah. This dual usage reflects how the concept of "lowering" can be either degrading when forced upon the arrogant or praiseworthy when voluntarily adopted as humility before God.
