a-sh-r

Description

The Arabic root أشر (a-sh-r) conveys the core meaning of exuberant wickedness, insolence, and arrogance that manifests in outward defiant behavior. In the Quranic context, it describes a person who is intoxicated with pride and transgression, showing reckless disregard for moral boundaries and divine guidance. This term emphasizes not just internal corruption but its external expression through boastful, presumptuous conduct that characterizes those who openly rebel against God's authority.
