Description

The Arabic root غوي (gh-w-y) carries the core meaning of going astray, deviating from the right path, or being led into error and misguidance. In the Quranic context, it describes both the state of being lost in error and the active process of misleading others away from truth and righteousness, often associated with Satan's deception and the consequences of rejecting divine guidance. This root emphasizes moral and spiritual deviation rather than mere intellectual error, highlighting the serious nature of straying from the straight path that leads to God.
