n-s-r

Description

The Arabic root نصر (n-s-r) fundamentally means to grant victory, aid, or support, and it appears throughout the Quran emphasizing divine assistance and the concept of help coming from Allah to believers. Its derived forms include نصارى (Nasara) meaning Christians, originally referring to the helpers or supporters of Jesus, as well as various verbal forms meaning to help, support, or grant victory. In the Quranic context, this root is theologically significant as it frequently appears in promises of divine victory and aid to those who support Allah's cause, while also reminding believers that true help and victory come ultimately from God alone, not from human strength or numbers.
