Description

The Arabic root س-ر-ج (s-r-j) carries the core meaning of a lamp or luminous light source, specifically referring to something that radiates bright, burning light. In the Quran, this root appears in words describing lamps that illuminate, most notably referring to the sun as a blazing lamp (sirāj) and prophetic guidance as an illuminating light. The term emphasizes active illumination and clarity, symbolizing divine guidance, revelation, and the natural light that Allah has created to dispel darkness both literally and metaphorically.
