[1] (V.1:2) Lord: The actual word used in the Qur'an is Rabb. There is no proper equivalent for Rabb in the English language. It means the One and the Only Lord for all the universe, its Creator, Owner, Organizer, Provider. Master, Planner, Sustainer, Cherisher, and Giver of security. Rabb is also. one of the Names of Allah.
