“That He may cut off a portion from among those who disbelieve, or abase them so that they should return disappointed of attaining what they desired.”
quran
“Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.”
Bible
“Surely (as for) those who are in opposition to Allah and His Apostle; they shall be among the most abased.”
“Abasement is made to cleave to them wherever they are found, except under a covenant with Allah and a covenant with men, and they have become deserving of wrath from Allah, and humiliation is made to cleave to them; this is because they disbelieved in the communications of Allah and slew the prophets unjustly; this is because they disobeyed and exceeded the limits.”
“Thus they were vanquished there, and they went back abased.”
“I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.”
“For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”
