q-l-y

Description

The Arabic root قلي (q-l-y) conveys the core meaning of having little regard for something, being displeased with it, or finding it detestable and worthless. In the Quranic context, this root appears in relation to human attitudes of dislike and contempt, often describing negative emotional states toward what should be valued or the natural human tendency to undervalue certain things. The root emphasizes a psychological state of aversion and low estimation rather than mere dislike, highlighting the spiritual problem of dismissing or scorning what deserves respect or attention.
