d-s-r

Description

The Arabic root د-س-ر (d-s-r) conveys the core meaning of fastening, joining firmly, or binding things together securely. In the Quran, it appears in Surah Al-Qamar (54:13) in the phrase "dusur" (nails or fastenings) to describe how Noah's ark was constructed with wooden planks held together by nails or metal fastenings. This usage emphasizes the divine craftsmanship and structural integrity of the ark that preserved Noah and the believers through the flood, symbolizing Allah's protection and the strength of faith when properly secured.
