Abdi

Abdilahi is a male name. It is a given name with many origins in many countries. Among others, one version has Arabic as origin, while another is of Biblical origin.

Arabic origin Abdi

While Arabic speakers commonly use Abdu (عبده / عبدو ʿabdu) rather than Abdi, both are nicknames for Abdul. It originates from the Arabic word عبد ال ʿabd al- / ʿabd el- / ʿabd ul-. The name translates as "servant" or "slave" in reference to religious submission to Allah (God). As such, it is often used by Muslims around the world in conjunction with one of the names of God in Islam, but also sometimes on its own.

Biblical Abdi

Abdi is also the name of three men in the Hebrew Bible

  • In 1 Chronicles 6:44 Abdi is a Levite of the family of Merari.
  • In 2 Chronicles 29:12 Abdi is a Levite in the time of King Hezekiah of Judah. This may be the same man as in 1 Chronicles 6:44.
  • In Ezra 10:26 Abdi is the son of Elam, and one of a long list of men who had married foreign wives, and who then sent them away together with their children.
  • Fikret Abdić

    Fikret Abdić (born 29 September 1939) is a Bosnian politician and businessman who first rose to prominence in the 1980s for his role in turning the Velika Kladuša-based agriculture company Agrokomerc into one of the biggest conglomerates in SFR Yugoslavia. In the early 1990s, during the Bosnian War, Abdić declared his opposition to the official Bosnian government, and established the Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia, a small and short-lived province in the northwestern corner of Bosnia and Herzegovina composed of the town of Velika Kladuša and nearby villages.

    The mini-state existed between 1993 and 1995 and was allied with the Army of Republika Srpska. In 2002 he was convicted on charges of war crimes against Bosniaks loyal to the Bosnian government by a court in Croatia and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment, which was later reduced on appeal to 15 years by the Supreme Court of Croatia. On 9 March 2012, he was released after having served two thirds of his reduced sentence.

    by: Opeth

    Ghost of Mother
    Lingering death
    Ghost on Mother's bed
    Black strands on the pillow
    Contour of her health
    Twisted face upon the head
    Ghost of perdition
    Stuck in her chest
    A warning no one read
    Tragic friendship
    Called inside the fog
    Pouring venom brew deceiving
    Devil cracked the earthly shell
    Foretold she was the one
    Blew hope into the room and said:
    "You have to live before you die young"
    Holding her down
    Channeling darkness
    Hemlock for the Gods
    Fading resistance
    Draining the weakness
    Penetrating inner light
    Road into the dark unaware
    Winding ever higher
    Darkness by her side
    Spoke and passed her by
    Dedicated hunter
    Waits to pull us under
    Rose up to its call
    In his arms she'd fall
    Mother light received
    And a faithful servant's free
    In time the hissing of her sanity
    Faded out her voice and soiled her name
    And like marked pages in a diary
    Everthing seemed clean that is unstained
    The incoherent talk of ordinary days
    Why would we really need to live?
    Decide what is clear and what's within a haze
    What you should take and what to give
    Ghost of perdition
    A saint's premonition's unclear
    Keeper of holy hordes
    Keeper of holy whores
    To see a beloved son
    In despair of what's to come
    If one cut the source of the flow
    And everything would change
    Would conviction fall
    In the shadow of the righteous
    The phantasm of your mind
    Might be calling you to go
    Defying the forgotten mortals
