'-n-t

Description

The Arabic root ع-ن-ت ('ayn-nun-ta) carries the core meaning of hardship, difficulty, and distress that comes from falling into sin or moral transgression. In the Quranic context, it specifically refers to the burden and suffering that results from wrongdoing or the struggle one faces when trying to avoid sin, highlighting both the consequences of moral failure and Allah's mercy in not imposing unbearable difficulties upon believers. The root emphasizes the connection between spiritual transgression and the resulting state of distress or hardship, while also acknowledging God's compassion in sparing humanity from excessive burdens they cannot bear.
