d-r-s

Description

The Arabic root درس (d-r-s) carries the core meaning of studying, learning through repetition, or becoming worn/effaced through constant use or reading. In the Quran, this root appears in contexts related to the study and transmission of previous scriptures, particularly referring to how earlier communities learned, recited, and preserved their sacred texts. The root emphasizes both the act of diligent study and the process by which knowledge becomes deeply ingrained through repeated engagement with religious texts, making it significant for understanding how the Quran addresses the relationship between different scriptural traditions.
