        Root ن ق م

        Words from this Root in the Grand Qur’ān

        a) Total occurrences 17

        b) No of constructions 10

        Nouns 3; Recurrence 7; Verb 7; Recurrence 10

        (لسان العرب)
        النَّقِمةُ والنَّقْمةُ المكافأَة بالعقوبة

        That it signifies award with retribution, punishment.

        Lane Lexicon 1 نَقَمَ عَلَيْهِ He exacted vengeance upon him, punished him see an ex. voce ابدى in art. بدو. See 8. اِنْتَقَمْتُ مِنْهُ I took, or executed, vengeance on him, or inflicted penal retribution on him, for that which he had done (JK or I punished him; (S, Msb, K as also مِنْهُ ↓ نَقَمْتُ, (Msb, K,) and عَلَيهِ, (TA,) aor. نَقِمَ. نِقْمَةٌ Vengeance; or penal retribution.

        اردو میں انتقام مستعمل ہے۔معنی١ - بدلہ۔ عوض۔ پاداش

        انتقام سے منسوب انتقام سے تعلق رکھنے والی کارروائی جو انتقام کی غرض سے ہو، جیسے انتقامی جذبہ، انتقامی کارروائی۔

        اردو میں فارسی زبان سے مستعار لیا ہوا لفظ ـ’پاداش‘اس مادہ کے تصور کے زیادہ قریب ہے۔

        اردو زبان کے مروجہ تراجم میں اللہ تعالیٰ کے لئے ’انتقام لینے والا‘ اور ’بدلہ لینے والا‘مناسب نہیں ہیں۔جرم کی سزا دینے کو انتقام لینا اور بدلہ لینا کہنا مناسب نہیں۔جرم کی سز دینا مقتدر کی ذمہ داری اور استحقاق ہے۔

        Passion/emotion is not associated when retribution is by the Sovereign awarded to a subject held guilty of crime. Thereby, the sense of revenge is not there.

It exposes the perception and meanings of most of its words picturesquely by relationships and contrasts.

            It is also used as an epithet for Allah the Exalted, thereby, in positive sense it would equate in Ecglish to "the Irresistible" or Almighty.

                  What is the relationship between both?

                  Salam,

                  Relationship in bold in my text below

                  In 2431 this term derives from the root khamara to cover, to wrap, to hide, and thus etymologically the word khumur, plural of khimâr, designates all that serves to hide and to hide from the glances. Thus we can deduce that by khimâr we must understand only the function that the Quran confers on it anything that can be useful to hide the neckline and translated by a generic word that is "stuff".

                  In the other other verses it means the wine whose abusive consumption hides the intellect.

                  Peace

                    Yes. Right you are. Very fine.

                    The amazing fact about the Roots of Arabic is that the perception enfolded in them is reflective of physical—scientific realities pertaining both to matter and life. They seem as if they are the baseline for scientific study and investigation. What alcoholic drink has to do with the scarf of cloth put over the bosoms of a woman? It has the same affect that is caused by the one or two drinks, i.e. blurred vision.

                    The size and shape of the bosoms gets blurred for the vision of onlooker if an extra scarf is placed over the chest. Thereby, his brain gets no signal to trigger negative emotion.

                      Interesting thought. Allah knows best.

                      This example shows us how it is important to find the core meaning of the root of a word before putting a form.
                      I saw your translation of 590 ".. The Certain Facts About the Alcoholic Beverages and Gambling ...". and the word "wal-maysiru" by "Gambling".
                      What is the relationship between the core meaning of "ease" that comes from this root and the word "Gambling"?
                      Peace.

                        b) No of constructions 18

                        It occurs in 40 Ayahs in 27 Sura

                        Nouns 10; Recurrence 29; Verb 8 Recurrence 15

                        Ibn Faris stated

                        (مقاييس اللغة)

                        الْيَاءُ وَالسِّينُ وَالرَّاءُ أَصْلَانِ يَدُلُّ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى انْفِتَاحِ شَيْءٍ وَخِفَّتِهِ، وَالْآخَرُ عَلَى عُضْوٍ مِنَ الْأَعْضَاء

                        َالْأَوَّلُ الْيُسْرُ ضِدُّ الْعُسْرِ. وَالْيَسَرَاتُ الْقَوَائِمُ الْخِفَافُ

                        That it firstly leads to the perception of liberality and openness of a thing and its lightness. Thereby, it is contra. of difficult, hard, strait and intricate.

                        Lane Lexicon He was, or became, gentle, and tractable, submissive, manageable, or easy; He (God) made it, or rendered it, easy; facilitated it. It (a thing) was, or became, facilitated, or easy; contr. of difficult, hard, strait, or intricate;

                        Classical Lexicons

                        The Root relates to activity and set of circumstance and thus is an experience. An experience has an easy or difficult time carrying out an activity.

                        It is also used to refer to gambling, game of chance because the consideration behind it is easiness in making money.

                        What is harmful in it? Please suggest to include it in the dictionary.

                          Very goog job with your lexicographic cards (a good synthesis specially to find the core concept by using Ibn Faris). That Allah bless you for your work. After, only Allah and his last book can confirm the work of human being (as human works it is perfectible).

                          I think it is not specially the place here (an another subject in this forum?) but it will be interesting to analyse the Quranic context and in particular to answer at the question you raise Why excess of "Gambling" is a bad evil ? With quranic proofs/evidences of course not just imagination.
                          We can understand, and signs are given in The Quran, about Wine (alcohol inside) but "Gambling" ? either it is forbidden or it is allowed otherwise what is the limit of excess?

                          Peace

                            The intention of each gambler is to become owner of other's wealth. Eventually he may become lethargic, dilapidated in undertaking efforts for economics.

                            I have put all the Ayahs where it occurs. Please advise about the suitability of word choice in different contexts like gentle, smooth, convenient.

                            Affect of gambling is given in Ayahs.

                                  Relationship with the other word from this Root --Pearl is under study.

                                    Root ذ و ق

                                    Words from this Root in the Grand Qur’ān

                                    a) Total occurrences 63

                                    b) No of constructions 33

                                    Nouns 3; Recurrence 5 Verbs 30; Recurrence 58

                                    Ibn Faris stated

                                    (مقاييس اللغة)

                                    الذال والواو والقاف أصلٌ واحد، وهو اختبار الشيء من جِهَةِ تَطَعُّمٍ، ثم يشتق منه مجازاً

                                    That it signifies examination, testing, trial of a thing from point of its inlay, taste, eating. Afterwards it is also used as figurative expression.

                                    Semantic Field Taste - sensory feeling

                                    In English taste is restricted to (WordNet)

                                    S (n) taste, gustation, sense of taste, gustatory modality (the faculty of distinguishing sweet, sour, bitter, and salty properties in the mouth) "his cold deprived him of his sense of taste"
                                    S (n) taste, tasting (a kind of sensing; distinguishing substances by means of the taste buds) "a wine tasting"

                                    ١اردو میں ہم اصل ذائقہ، خوش ذائقہ مستعمل ہے

                                    چیزوں کا مزہ بتانے والی قوت، لذت بتانے والی قوت، وہ حس جس کا تعلق چکھنے سے ہو۔

                                    Its usage in Grand Qur’ān is not restricted to gustatory modality but to all sensory feelings, like pain by corporal infliction and of pleasure and comfort. Skin is mentioned as the receptor, taster of Pain, corporeal infliction. It is also used as "The Taste of death".

                                    1. Corporeal infliction Painful - affect Skin Burn - Skins will be replaced -grafted to make them feel - sense - taste the punishment (456).

                                    2. The Taste of death;

                                    3. In the meaning of tasting eatables;

                                    4. In the meaning of tasting mercy

                                    Will someone like to research to find connection between four uses; scientific or otherwise figurative?

                                    Ayahs are mentioned under each sub head in this link

                                        The intention of each gambler is to become owner of other's wealth. Eventually he may become lethargic, dilapidated in undertaking efforts for economics.

                                        I have put all the Ayahs where it occurs. Please advise about the suitability of word choice in different contexts like gentle, smooth, convenient.

                                        Affect of gambling is given in Ayahs.

                                          Root س و د

                                          Words from this Root in the Grand Qur’ān

                                          a) Total occurrences 10

                                          b) No of constructions 9

                                          Noun 7; Recurrence 8; Verb 2

                                          Ibn Faris stated

                                          (مقاييس اللغة)

                                          السين والواو والدال أصلٌ واحد، وهو خلاف البياضِ في اللّونِ، ثم يحمل عليه ويشتقّ منه. فالسَّواد في اللّون معروف.

                                          That it is opposite of white, whiteness, oviparous in colour; and then other meanings are derived from it; black, blackness in colour is well known.

                                          Lane Lexicon He was, or became, possessed of glory, honour, dignity, eminence, exalted or elevated state, or nobility. It, and he, became أَسْوَد (S, M, Msb, K) and ↓ اسوادّ it, or he, became intensely so.

                                          Classical Lexicons

                                          Apparently the words stemming from this Root have widely divergent meanings of black colour and for referring a person for honour, dignity, eminence but later meanings do relate to the psyche of black colour. In color psychology, black's color meaning is symbolic of mystery, power, elegance, and sophistication. In contrast, the color meaning can also evoke emotions such as sadness and anger reflected by facial expression.
