t-'-s

Description

The Arabic root تعس (t-'-s) conveys the core meaning of stumbling, falling into misfortune, or being utterly ruined and destroyed. In the Quran, it appears as an imprecation expressing divine condemnation upon those who reject faith and pursue worldly gains over spiritual guidance, indicating both their current state of wretchedness and their deserved punishment. The term emphasizes complete downfall and humiliation, often used to describe the fate of disbelievers who have inverted their priorities and lost both worldly success and eternal salvation.
