h-w-dh

Description

The Arabic root ح-و-ذ (ḥ-w-dh) conveys the core meaning of possessing, seizing control, or having comprehensive mastery over something. In the Quranic context, it appears in forms expressing dominion and overwhelming power, particularly in reference to Satan's ability to gain control over certain people who stray from God's guidance, or conversely, the believers' inability to be fully overcome when under divine protection. This root emphasizes the concept of complete subjugation or advantage in a spiritual struggle between righteousness and deviation.
