f-w-d

Description

The Arabic root فوض (f-w-ḍ) carries the core meaning of delegating, entrusting, or committing a matter to someone else, particularly with the connotation of relying upon them for its resolution. In the Quranic context, it most notably appears in expressions where believers entrust their affairs to Allah, demonstrating complete reliance (tawakkul) and submission to divine wisdom and authority. This root emphasizes the Islamic concept of surrendering one's concerns to God while acknowledging human limitations and divine omnipotence in managing all matters.
