Description

The Arabic root غلل (gh-l-l) carries the core meaning of binding, restraining, or placing in chains and shackles, typically referring to physical or metaphorical imprisonment. In the Quran, this root appears primarily in eschatological contexts describing the punishment of disbelievers in Hell, where they are bound in chains and fetters as a form of divine retribution and restraint. The imagery emphasizes both the physical torment and the complete powerlessness of those who rejected faith, symbolizing their inability to escape divine justice.
