d-gh-n

Description

The Arabic root ضغن (d-gh-n) conveys the core meaning of deep-seated hatred, grudge, or rancor that is harbored in the heart, often concealed and enduring. In the Quranic context, it appears in reference to the removal of malice and hatred from the hearts of believers in Paradise, and the elimination of enmity between those who will dwell in eternal bliss. This root emphasizes the spiritual purification that occurs in the afterlife, where interpersonal animosities and hidden resentments are completely cleansed from human hearts.
