Description

The Arabic root كيل (k-y-l) carries the core meaning of measuring or weighing, particularly in the context of trading commodities like grain, dates, or other goods that are measured by volume or weight. In the Quran, this root appears in verses dealing with commercial honesty, justice in transactions, and warnings against cheating in measurements, emphasizing that proper measurement is both a religious and ethical obligation. The root is especially prominent in stories about Prophet Shu'ayb, who condemned his people for giving short measure, making it a symbol of economic justice and moral integrity in Islamic teachings.
