th-l-l

Description

The Arabic root ثلل (th-l-l) carries the core meaning of a company, group, or band of people. In the Quran, it appears in Surah Al-Waqi'ah (56:39-40) describing the groups of people in Paradise, where it distinguishes between "thullatun min al-awwaleen" (a company from the former peoples) and "wa thullatun min al-akhireen" (and a company from the later peoples). The root emphasizes the collective nature of humanity across different eras and highlights that divine reward encompasses believers from all generations, underscoring the continuity of faith throughout human history.
