h-f-d

Description

The Arabic root ح-ف-د (h-f-d) carries the core meaning of hastening to serve, assisting, or descendants who provide support. In its Quranic usage in Surah An-Nahl (16:72), it appears in the context of Allah's blessings upon humanity, referring to grandsons or helpers from among one's progeny who extend the family line and provide assistance. The term emphasizes both the genealogical blessing of offspring and the functional benefit of having family members who actively support and serve, reflecting the Quranic theme of divine favor through family bonds.
