Description

The Arabic root س-ج-n (s-j-n) carries the core meaning of confinement, imprisonment, and restriction. In the Quran, it appears primarily in two contexts: the literal prison where Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) was confined in Surah Yusuf, and Sijjin, a term in Surah al-Mutaffifin referring to either a restricted, confined place or a record book for the deeds of the wicked. The root conveys themes of restraint and limitation, whether physical imprisonment or spiritual constriction, and in the case of Sijjin specifically emphasizes the constrained state of those who reject faith.
