50:11 ‘Ibâdالْعِبَادِ is plural form of ‘abad عبد (- worshipper). ‘Abid عابد is the one who subjects himself to a rigorous spiritual discipline, working with all inherent powers and capacities to their fullest scope, in perfect harmony with and in obedience to Divine commandments. The purpose is to receive Allâh’s attention and thereby be able to assimilate and manifest in one’s self His Attributes. The blessings of “Divine Rain” and the products that are the results of this blessing mentioned in the foregoing verses 9 and 10 are at the service of Allâh’s worshippers who are raised to a new spiritual life.
