'-h-n

Description

The Arabic root ع-ه-ن ('ayn-hā'-nūn) refers to wool, specifically colored or dyed wool in its natural, fluffy state. In the Quran, it appears in Surah Al-Qari'ah (101:5) and Al-Ma'arij (70:9) using the term "al-'ihn al-manfush" (scattered/carded wool) to describe the state of mountains on the Day of Judgment, illustrating how they will be torn apart and dispersed like tufts of wool. This imagery powerfully conveys the complete dissolution of what humans perceive as permanent and solid structures during the cosmic upheaval of the Final Hour.
