m-'-z

Description

The Arabic root م-ع-ز (m-'-z) refers to goats, specifically a type of small livestock that was economically and culturally significant in Arabian society. In the Quranic context, this root appears when discussing cattle and livestock that God has provided for human benefit, emphasizing divine provision and the lawful animals granted to humanity for food, clothing, and sustenance. The mention of goats alongside other livestock types underscores the comprehensive nature of God's blessings and the permissibility of these animals within Islamic dietary laws.
