a-d-m

Description

The Arabic root أدم (a-d-m) primarily relates to the first human being Adam and carries the semantic meaning of surface or skin, connecting to humanity's creation from the earth's surface (soil). In the Quran, this root appears in references to Adam as the progenitor of mankind, his disobedience and subsequent repentance, and the collective designation of his descendants as the children of Adam. The root emphasizes both human origin from earthly matter and the spiritual covenant between God and humanity through Adam.
