h-m-n

Description

The Arabic root همن (h-m-n) in the Quran carries the core meaning of watchful guardianship, protective oversight, and bearing witness to something's truthfulness. It appears in contexts describing Allah as al-Muhaymin (the Guardian/Overseer) who protectively watches over His creation and the Quran as a guardian over previous scriptures, confirming and preserving their truth while maintaining authority over them. This root emphasizes both protective care and authoritative testimony, signifying complete awareness and control combined with safeguarding responsibility.
