خزى
Khazā
To bring shame and disgrace on a person who breaks the commandments of God, in this world and in the next; the verbal noun is khizy.
What it means
Khazā means to disgrace or to put to shame, and its verbal noun is khizy, disgrace. The Quran uses it of the humiliation that follows rebellion against God, and it speaks of disgrace in this world and a greater punishment in the next (5:33). It also appears in prayers. Believers ask God not to disgrace them on the Day of Resurrection (3:194), and they say, “Our Lord, whomever You admit to the Fire, You have disgraced” (3:192). The word names a public and inward shame, one that falls on the person who has broken God’s commandments and been shown to have done so. It is the opposite of the honour that God gives to those who obey Him.
Often misunderstood as
It is often translated plainly as “humiliation” or “disgrace”, which loses that the Quran ties this shame to breaking God’s commandments and to the Day of Judgement.
