l-j-j

Description

The Arabic root لجج (l-j-j) carries the core meaning of depth, immersion, and persistent engagement with something, whether physical or metaphorical. In the Quran, it describes both literal deep water or pools and the figurative state of being deeply immersed in disbelief, error, or confusion, where people persist stubbornly in their ways. This semantic connection emphasizes how those who reject truth are depicted as being submerged in their misguidance, unable or unwilling to emerge from it, much like being caught in deep waters.
