h-y-r

Description

The Arabic root ح-ي-ر (ḥ-y-r) carries the core meaning of perplexity, bewilderment, and being unable to find the right direction or course of action. In the Quranic context, it describes a state of spiritual or intellectual confusion where individuals are unable to discern truth from falsehood or find guidance, often as a result of turning away from divine revelation. This term emphasizes the helplessness and disorientation that afflicts those who reject God's guidance, leaving them wandering aimlessly without clarity or purpose in matters of faith and moral judgment.
