t-l-l

Description

The Arabic root ṭ-l-l (طلل) carries the core meaning of light rain, drizzle, or gentle moisture that falls softly. In the Quran, this root appears in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:265) where it describes a light rain (ṭall) that falls upon a garden, illustrating how even minimal divine provision is sufficient to bring forth growth and blessing for sincere believers. The imagery emphasizes that Allah's mercy and sustenance, even in small measures, are effective and adequate for those who are receptive, contrasting with those who need abundant rainfall, symbolizing different spiritual states and responses to divine guidance.
