d-d-d

Description

The Arabic root ضدد (ḍ-d-d) conveys the core meaning of opposition, contrariness, and being antagonistic or contrary to something. In the Quranic context, it appears in the word أضداد (aḍdād) meaning opponents or rivals, specifically referring to those who set themselves up in opposition to Allah by taking other deities or objects of worship besides Him. This root emphasizes the fundamental incompatibility between monotheistic worship and associating partners with God, highlighting the serious error of directing devotion to entities that stand contrary to the One True God.
