d-y-r

Description

The Arabic root ضير (d-y-r) conveys the core meaning of harm, injury, or damage that causes disadvantage or detriment to someone or something. In the Quran, this root appears in contexts emphasizing that certain actions or entities cannot cause harm except by Allah's permission, reinforcing the theological principle of divine will and sovereignty over all affairs. The term underscores the Islamic concept that ultimate power to benefit or harm rests with God alone, not with created beings or objects that people might fear or rely upon.
