b-s-q

Description

The Arabic root بسق (b-s-q) carries the core meaning of rising high, towering, or surpassing in height and elevation. In the Quranic context, it appears in Surah Qaf (50:10) describing tall, lofty palm trees (nakhl basiqat), emphasizing their impressive height and vertical growth as a sign of Allah's creative power and provision. This root conveys the concept of something that stands out prominently due to its exceptional vertical dimension, often used to illustrate natural phenomena that inspire awe and reflection on divine creation.
