a-w-b

Description

The Arabic root أوب (a-w-b) carries the core meaning of returning or turning back, particularly in the spiritual sense of repenting and turning toward Allah. In the Quran, it frequently describes those who consistently return to Allah in worship and repentance (awwāb), the ultimate return to Allah on the Day of Judgment, and the act of glorifying Allah repeatedly throughout the day and night. This root emphasizes the cyclical nature of the believer's relationship with Allah and the inevitable return of all creation to their Creator for final judgment.
