dh-b-b

Description

The Arabic root ذبب (dh-b-b) refers to the fly or flying insect, appearing in the Quran in Surah Al-Hajj (22:73) where it emphasizes the utter powerlessness of false deities by noting that even if all idols gathered together, they could not create something as small and seemingly insignificant as a fly, nor could they retrieve anything a fly might take from them. This root underscores a profound theological argument about the weakness of false gods compared to Allah's creative power, using one of the smallest and most common creatures to demonstrate that those who worship anything besides Allah are calling upon entities that lack even the most basic creative ability.
