    Root ج ب ر

    Words from this Root in the Grand Qur’ān

    a) Total occurrences 10

    b) No of constructions 5 All Nouns

    Ibn Faris stated

    (مقاييس اللغة)

    الجيم والباء والراء أصلٌ واحد، وهو جِنْسٌ من العظَمة والعُلوّ والاستقامة.

    That it relates to bone/skeleton, grandeur, might, superiority and straightness.

    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.

    In negative sense it means

    And they purposely followed the word and command of every tyrant/powerful obstinate.

    All ayahs where used may be seen here

      Root ب ت ر

      Words from this Root in the Grand Qur’ān

      a) Total occurrences 1

      Ibn Faris stated

      (مقاييس اللغة)

      الْبَاءُ وَالتَّاءُ وَالرَّاءُ أَصْلٌ وَاحِدٌ، وَهُوَ الْقَطْعُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُتِمَّهُ وَكُلُّ مَنِ انْقَطَعَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ أَثَرُهُ فَهُوَ أَبْتَرُ.

      That it signifies cutting a thing before it was complete, and whoever is cut from good, benefaction, blessing he is أَبْتَرُ doomed,

      Lane Lexicon He cut, or cut off, a thing before it was complete.

      http//haqeeqat.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/108.%20Al%20Kausar/108.3.gif

      It is a certain fact about the maligner, nurturer of ill-feeling and cattiness against you the Messenger he stands doomed permanently

          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.

                Good point.

                Root ى س ر

                Words from this Root in the Grand Qur’ān

                a) Total occurrences 44

                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.

                http//haqeeqat.pk/roots/(1639).htm

                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.

                            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

                                which ayahs please ?
                                So I reformulate my question where is the limit of gambling excess by Quranic proofs?

                                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.

                                    Words from this Root in the Grand Qur’ān

                                    a) Total occurrences 21

                                    b) No of constructions 11 All Nouns

                                    Ibn Faris stated

                                    (مقاييس اللغة)

                                    الحاء واللام والميم، أصولٌ ثلاثة الأول ترك العَجَلة، والثاني تثقُّب الشيء، والثالث رُؤية الشيء في المنام

                                    That it has three primary significations; firstly to leave hastiness, rashness, impetuosity; something becoming punctures, pierced, perforated or ignited; and lastly seeing something in the dreams.

                                    Another Classical Lexicon states

                                    حلم (لسان العرب)
                                    الحُلْمُ والحُلُم الرُّؤْيا، والجمع أَحْلام

                                    والحُلْمُ الاحتلام أيضاً، يجمع على الأحْلامِ

                                    والحِلْمُ، بالكسر الأَناةُ والعقل، وجمعه أَحْلام وحُلُومٌ.

                                    That it signifies dream; and puberty - experiencing wet dream; and with genitive middle radical it signifies forbearance, endurance and gentleness.

                                    Lane's Lexicon to have wet dream, have a vision, attain to puberty, forbearing, to gain wisdom, patient, prudent, imperturbable; The same term, al-hilm, is used for both puberty and wet dreams, marking wet dreams an indication of puberty. He was, or became, forbearing, or clement;] he forgave and concealed or he was, or became, moderate, gentle, deliberate, leisurely in his manner of proceeding or of deportment &c., patient as meaning contr. of hasty, grave, staid, sedate, or calm;

                                    Classical Lexicon

                                    In Grand Qur’ān it is used for

                                    1. In the meaning of attribute of forbearance, endurance, gentleness.

                                    2. In the meanings of dreams

                                    3. In the meaning of age of experiencing wet-dream - Semantic domain Stages of human life.

                                    Neuroscientists who study brainwaves may find the perception and semantic domain of this Root, which otherwise incorporates concepts apparently poles apart, quite interesting. All the three domains covered by the Root share the same state of low frequency and high amplitude brain waves.

                                        I don't know if i have asked before but brother Wakas, would you like to add Maqayes Al-Lugha to Project Root List? The lexicon studies the root word definition.

                                          A contributor can use any classical Arabic dictionary.

                                          All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.
