dh-r-a

Description

The Arabic root ذرأ (dh-r-a) carries the core meaning of creating, bringing forth, or multiplying abundant creation, particularly emphasizing the spreading and scattering of creatures throughout the earth. In the Quranic context, this root is used exclusively to describe Allah's creative power in producing and multiplying living beings, especially humans and animals, in great numbers across the world. The term conveys both the initial act of creation and the subsequent proliferation of creatures, highlighting Allah's ability to generate abundant life from small beginnings.
