z-h-z-h

Description

The Arabic root زحزح (z-h-z-h) conveys the core meaning of moving, shifting, or displacing something away from its original position, often with effort or difficulty. In the Quranic context, it appears most notably in Surah Al-Imran (3:185) where it describes being removed or drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, emphasizing the critical distinction between salvation and damnation. The reduplicative nature of the root (repeating z-h) suggests a gradual or deliberate movement, highlighting that achieving distance from hellfire and attaining paradise requires decisive action and divine mercy.
