k-b-b

Description

The Arabic root كبب (k-b-b) carries the core meaning of overturning, throwing down, or casting headlong into something, typically in a forceful or violent manner. In the Quranic context, this root appears in descriptions of divine punishment where disbelievers or wrongdoers are cast down or thrown face-first into Hellfire, emphasizing the humiliating and sudden nature of their downfall. The imagery conveys both physical prostration and spiritual degradation, reinforcing the consequences of rejection of faith and divine guidance.
