d-h-m

Description

The Arabic root د-ه-م (d-h-m) carries the core meaning of deep darkness or blackness, particularly describing an intense dark green color that is so dark it appears nearly black. In its Quranic usage in Surah Ar-Rahman (55:64), it describes the gardens of Paradise as being "mudhammatan" (dark green), indicating lush, dense vegetation with such rich greenery that it signifies abundance, fertility, and the ultimate beauty of Paradise's vegetation. This intense coloration emphasizes the depth of divine blessing and the profound contrast with the barren desert landscape familiar to the original audience.
