Description

The Arabic root ج-ب-ي (j-b-y) carries the core meaning of choosing, selecting, or electing someone or something with deliberate preference and distinction. In the Quranic context, this root predominantly refers to divine selection, emphasizing Allah's purposeful choosing of prophets, messengers, and righteous individuals for special roles and elevated status above others. This concept underscores the theological principle that divine favor and leadership are bestowed by God's wisdom rather than human merit alone, highlighting the sacred authority and legitimacy of those whom Allah has specially selected.
