الحمد لله رب العلمين
Alhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena
1.2 The praise (be) to “allah”, the lord of the jinn, and of mankind.
Here we have not only the term “rabb” applying to “allah”, but we are also told of the qualifier “alAAalameena” – which, whenever combined with “rabb”, means… “the lord of the jinn, and of mankind”
This statement clears the air that the god “allah” is no ordinary “Lord”. He is lord of the Demons (jinn).
رب العلمين = “rabbi alAAalameena”
“rabbi alAAalameena” definition:
The Lord of the jinn, or genii, and of mankind: the Lord of all created beings.
It comes from the root “alama”, which means to mark, sign, and distinguish. He knew it; or he was, or became, acquainted with it; or he knew it truly, or certainly. He knew a thing intuitively and inferentially. He marked it. He, a man, had a fissure in his upper lip; or in one of its two sides. Knowledge.
