dh-r-w

Description

The Arabic root ذرو (dh-r-w) carries the core meaning of scattering, dispersing, or winnowing, like separating grain from chaff by throwing it into the wind. In the Quran, it appears most notably in Surah Adh-Dhariyat (51:1) where "adh-dhariyat" refers to winds that scatter and disperse, emphasizing God's power over natural forces that spread His provisions and blessings across the earth. This imagery of scattering conveys both the widespread distribution of divine mercy and the separation of pure from impure, reflecting themes of sustenance and divine judgment in the Quranic worldview.
