Description

The Arabic root ع-و-ذ ('a-w-dh) carries the core meaning of seeking protection, refuge, or shelter from harm by turning to a higher power or safe haven. In the Quranic context, this root is overwhelmingly used to describe the act of seeking refuge in Allah from evil, Satan, harmful thoughts, and various dangers, establishing a fundamental concept of divine protection and human dependence on God. The term appears prominently in phrases commanding believers to seek Allah's protection (isti'adha), making it central to Islamic spiritual practice and the relationship between the servant and the Divine Protector.
