w-h-sh

Description

The Arabic root وحش (w-h-sh) carries the core meaning of wildness, savageness, and untamed nature, referring primarily to wild animals that live beyond human civilization and control. In the Quranic context, it appears in reference to wild beasts (wahsh) as part of the natural order that Allah has created, often mentioned alongside other categories of creation to demonstrate divine power and provision. The root emphasizes the distinction between domesticated animals under human stewardship and those creatures that remain in their natural, untamed state as part of the broader ecosystem.
