Description

The Arabic root ḥ-ṭ-ṭ (حطط) carries the core meaning of putting down, lowering, or removing a burden, both physically and spiritually. In the Quran, it appears most notably in the command ḥiṭṭatun (حطة), instructing the Israelites to say "remove [our burdens]" or "forgiveness" as they entered the gate in humility, signifying the removal of sins through repentance and submission. This root emphasizes the concept of unburdening oneself from sin and seeking Allah's mercy through humble acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
