s-r-y

Description

The Arabic root س-ر-ي (s-r-y) carries the core meaning of flowing, moving, or traveling, particularly at night or in a concealed manner. In the Quran, it appears in contexts describing nocturnal journeys (like the Prophet's night journey), water flowing through streams, and the general concept of something passing or proceeding smoothly through space or time. This root emphasizes both literal movement through darkness and the metaphorical idea of divine facilitation of passage, whether physical travel or the flow of sustenance like water.
