Description
The Arabic root قمح (q-m-h) carries the core meaning of raising or lifting the head upward, often in a forced or unnatural manner that prevents proper vision or movement. In its Quranic usage, it describes a state of humiliation where heads are raised but sight is blocked, symbolizing spiritual blindness and the inability of disbelievers to perceive divine guidance despite warnings. This imagery emphasizes the consequences of stubborn rejection of faith, depicting a condition where people are physically upright but spiritually constrained and unable to see the truth before them.
