s-f-s-f

Description

The Arabic root صفصف (s-f-s-f) appears in the Quran to describe a flat, level, barren plain or ground, emphasizing complete smoothness and emptiness. This quadriliteral root conveys the image of land that has been leveled or made entirely flat, without vegetation or elevation. In its Quranic context (20:106), it describes the transformed state of mountains on the Day of Judgment when they are reduced to an utterly flat, desolate expanse, illustrating the dramatic reshaping of the earth during the apocalyptic events.
