r-q-q

Description

The Arabic root رقق (r-q-q) carries the core meaning of thinness, delicacy, and fineness. In the Quranic context, it appears in Surah At-Tur (52:3) in the word "raqq" (رَقّ), referring to parchment or finely beaten/spread out material used for writing, specifically describing the medium upon which divine records are inscribed. This usage emphasizes the materiality and tangibility of written revelation, suggesting both the precious nature of divine scripture and the careful preservation of God's message through physical documentation.
