b-r-z

Description

The Arabic root برز (b-r-z) carries the core meaning of emerging, appearing, or coming out into the open from a hidden or concealed state. In the Quranic context, it predominantly describes the Day of Judgment when all of creation will be brought forth into open view before Allah, with nothing remaining hidden, and the earth will be leveled into a bare, exposed plain. This root emphasizes the themes of divine accountability and cosmic transformation, where all things concealed—including human deeds and the contents of graves—will be manifested and laid bare for judgment.
