j-y-d

Description

The Arabic root ج-ي-د (j-y-d) relates to the neck or throat area and appears in the Quran in the context of describing a woman's neck, specifically in Surah Al-Masad where it refers to the wife of Abu Lahab who will have a rope of twisted palm fiber around her neck in hellfire. The core meaning centers on the physical neck as a body part, and in this Quranic context, it carries significance as the place where punishment is administered, symbolizing restraint, humiliation, and divine retribution. This imagery powerfully conveys the consequence of opposing the Prophet Muhammad and rejecting the Islamic message.
