Description

The Arabic root ع-ج-ل ('ayn-jīm-lām) carries the core meaning of hastiness, rushing, and impatience, appearing in the Quran both as a verb describing human tendency to rush or demand immediate results and as a noun referring to the calf (al-'ijl) worshipped by the Israelites, which was hastily fashioned and prematurely taken as a deity. This root emphasizes a critical human weakness: the desire for immediate gratification and inability to exercise patience, whether in demanding quick answers to prayers, rushing toward worldly matters, or impatiently abandoning proper guidance. The Quran uses this root to contrast human haste with divine wisdom and perfect timing, reminding believers that God's plan unfolds according to His knowledge rather than human impatience.
