dh-q-n

Description

The Arabic root ذقن (dh-q-n) refers to the chin or beard area of the face, representing the lower part of the face where the beard grows. In the Quran, this root appears in passages describing people falling down in prostration or humility before God, where falling on their chins/faces (adhqan) emphasizes complete submission and reverence. The term carries significance in depicting profound spiritual humility, as falling on one's chin represents the ultimate physical position of surrender and awe before the divine.
