s-r-b-l

Description

The Arabic root سربل (s-r-b-l) fundamentally refers to garments, clothing, or coverings that envelop a person. In the Quran, this root appears in contexts describing both physical garments and metaphorical coverings, such as garments of fire for the disbelievers in Hell or garments of tar, emphasizing the concept of something that completely surrounds and covers the body. The term carries significance in illustrating both protection and punishment, depending on the context, and highlights the Quranic imagery of clothing as something that fully encompasses a person's state or condition.
