d-a-b

Description

The Arabic root دأب (d-a-b) conveys the core meaning of persistent habit, continuous custom, or established pattern of behavior. In the Quran, it appears in contexts describing the consistent practices and eventual fate of previous nations, emphasizing how people's habitual behaviors lead to predictable consequences, as well as describing the constant, orderly motion of celestial bodies. This root underscores a key Quranic theme that both human conduct and natural phenomena follow established patterns that demonstrate divine law and serve as lessons for reflection.
