One who sits or kneels
Derived from the Arabic root meaning to kneel or sit, it is most notably associated with Al-Jathiya, the 45th chapter of the Quran. It carries a connotation of humility and reverence before the divine. While rare in the United States, it is used within Muslim communities globally.
