q-r-t-s

Description

The Arabic root قرطس (q-r-t-s) refers to parchment or writing material, specifically paper or documents used for recording written text. In the Quran, it appears in Surah Al-An'am (6:7) where the disbelievers demand that Allah send down a physical book on parchment that they could touch with their hands as proof of Muhammad's prophethood. This root emphasizes the material, tangible nature of written documents and highlights the disbelievers' insistence on physical evidence while rejecting spiritual and rational proofs of divine revelation.
