In the Quranic context, it primarily refers to Allah's divine decree and judgment, encompassing His completion of creation, His rulings in matters of faith and law, and His final judgments between people. The root emphasizes both the decisiveness and finality of divine action, whether in issuing commands, fulfilling purposes, or rendering ultimate verdicts.
