'-y-y

Description

The Arabic root ع-ي-ي (ʿ-y-y) conveys the core meaning of weariness, fatigue, or inability due to exhaustion. In the Quranic context, it appears in Surah Qaf (50:15) where Allah rhetorically asks if He was tired or worn out by the first creation, emphatically denying any divine fatigue or weakness in His creative power. This usage serves to establish Allah's absolute transcendence and unlimited capacity, contrasting divine omnipotence with human limitations and refuting any notion that creation could exhaust or weaken the Creator.
