m-h-s

Description

The Arabic root م-ح-ص (m-ḥ-ṣ) carries the core meaning of testing, purifying, or removing impurities through a process of trial and refinement. In the Quranic context, it refers to God's purification of believers through hardships and trials that eliminate spiritual weaknesses and distinguish true faith from hypocrisy, while also describing the elimination or destruction of disbelievers as a form of purging evil. This concept emphasizes that divine testing serves both as spiritual refinement for the faithful and as a means of eradicating corruption from the community.
