w-s-l

Description

The Arabic root وصل (w-s-l) carries the core meaning of connection, joining, and reaching across a gap or distance. In the Quranic context, this root encompasses both physical arrival at a destination and metaphorical connections between people, between humanity and God, or between actions and their consequences. The concept is theologically significant as it emphasizes the unbroken chain of divine communication through messengers, the importance of maintaining ties (especially familial bonds), and the ultimate reunion of deeds with their doer on the Day of Judgment.
