m-r-y

Description

The Arabic root مري (m-r-y) carries the core meaning of doubt, skepticism, and contentious dispute arising from uncertainty or disbelief. In the Quranic context, this root typically describes the argumentative rejection or questioning of divine truth, often characterizing the attitude of disbelievers who dispute with prophets or challenge revealed messages despite clear evidence. The term emphasizes not merely intellectual questioning but rather obstinate controversy rooted in spiritual doubt and resistance to accepting God's guidance.
