s-f-n

Description

The Arabic root سفن (s-f-n) carries the core meaning of a ship or vessel that travels on water. In the Quran, this root appears in various forms to denote ships and maritime vessels, often highlighted as signs of God's mercy and power, as ships enable human travel and trade across seas despite the natural dangers of water. The Quran frequently mentions ships as examples of divine bounty and as evidence of God's favor upon humanity, particularly in passages discussing His control over nature and provision for human needs.
