  • Differences In Meaning Between Mawla And Rabb

    Posted by Ahmed Berari on July 8, 2025 at 12:15 am

    I understand both mean “Lord” in a certain sense. However in their usage we find differences in the way they are used. Rububiyat seems to be something to be ascribed only to God it seems.
    > (9/31) They have taken their priests and their monks for their Lords besides God, and also the Masih son of Maryam; whereas they Were commanded not but to worship the One God: no god is there but he. Hallowed be He from that which they associate.

    However the word Mawla (or variations of it) apparently also seems to mean Lord but is widely used for mortals.

    Is there an etymological difference which makes it mean different things? or contextual perhaps?
