w-j-f

Description

The Arabic root و-ج-ف (w-j-f) carries the core meaning of rapid movement, trembling, or palpitation, often associated with fear or intense emotion. In the Quranic context, it appears in reference to hearts palpitating from fear or anxiety on the Day of Judgment, and in describing swift military expeditions where horses gallop rapidly. The root emphasizes both the physical manifestation of inner emotional states and the speed and urgency of movement, connecting spiritual awe with tangible action.
