a-d-d

Description

The Arabic root أدد (a-d-d) carries the core meaning of severity, intensity, or something formidable and overpowering. In the Quranic context, it appears in the word "iddan" (إِدًّا) in Surah Maryam (19:89-90), describing something tremendously grave or atrocious in reference to the false claim that Allah has taken a son. This root emphasizes the enormity and severe gravity of associating partners with Allah or attributing to Him what contradicts His transcendent nature.
