kh-y-m

Description

The Arabic root خيم (kh-y-m) carries the core meaning of dwelling, tent, or pavilion, evoking the concept of residence and shelter. In the Quranic context, it appears in Surah Ar-Rahman (55:72) referring to the beautiful pavilions or tents in Paradise where the righteous will dwell with their companions. This imagery connects to the Arabian cultural familiarity with tent-dwelling while elevating it to represent eternal, luxurious divine abodes, emphasizing both comfort and the intimate, private nature of Paradise's rewards.
