Description

The Arabic root طود (ṭ-w-d) carries the core meaning of a massive, firmly established mountain or mountain peg. In the Quranic context, it appears in reference to mountains as symbols of stability, permanence, and God's power in creation, emphasizing how Allah has anchored the earth with these immovable masses to prevent it from shaking. The root conveys not just any mountain, but specifically highlights the qualities of steadfastness and unmovable strength that serve as signs of divine wisdom in the natural order.
