sh-t-t

Description

The Arabic root شتت (sh-t-t) carries the core meaning of dispersion, scattering, and division into separate parts or groups. In the Quran, it describes states of disunity, fragmentation, and separation, whether referring to divided hearts, scattered peoples, diverse opinions, or things that lack cohesion and unity. This root often appears in contexts emphasizing the negative consequences of disunity and lack of collective purpose, contrasting with the Quranic emphasis on unity of faith and community.
