k-w-b

Description

The Arabic root كوب (k-w-b) refers to a cup or drinking vessel, specifically one without handles or spouts. In the Quran, this root appears exclusively in descriptions of Paradise, where it denotes the elegant cups and goblets used by the blessed to drink from heavenly beverages like pure wine that causes no intoxication. The term emphasizes the luxurious and refined nature of the rewards awaiting believers in the afterlife, contrasting with earthly drinking vessels.
