q-y-d

Description

The Arabic root قيض (q-y-ḍ) carries the core meaning of destining, assigning, or appointing someone or something to another, often with a sense of divine decree or predestination. In the Quranic context, this root emphasizes Allah's sovereign control over circumstances and His assignment of companions, consequences, or situations to people according to His will and wisdom. The term conveys the idea that nothing occurs by chance, but rather through divine ordainment, particularly when referring to the assignment of qareen (companions from jinn) or the bringing together of specific individuals and conditions as part of Allah's plan.
