Description
The Arabic root ليس (l-y-s) functions as a verb of negation meaning "to not be" or "there is not," serving as the primary tool in the Quran for negating existence, states, or qualities. Unlike the simple negative particle "lā," laysa operates as a defective verb that requires a subject and predicate, making it particularly powerful for emphatic theological negations such as denying partners to Allah, false beliefs, or incorrect assumptions about divine attributes. Its frequent appearance across 89 Quranic words underscores its critical role in establishing Islamic monotheism and correcting misconceptions through definitive statements of what is not true or does not exist.
