j-m-h

Description

The Arabic root جمح (j-m-h) conveys the core meaning of bolting, breaking free from restraint, or running wild uncontrollably, like an untamed horse that refuses to be reined in. In its Quranic usage, this root describes rebellious behavior characterized by stubborn defiance and refusal to submit to guidance or authority. The term captures the spiritual and moral dimension of humans who, like unruly animals, resist Divine guidance and allow their base desires to overpower their reason and submission to God.
