f-n-d

Description

The Arabic root فند (f-n-d) carries the core meaning of refutation, denial, or demonstrating something to be false or weak. In its Quranic usage, it relates to weakness of mind, senility, or being intellectually feeble, particularly in the context of Prophet Shu'ayb's people accusing him of having diminished mental capacity due to old age. The root's significance in the Quranic context highlights the rejection by disbelievers who attempted to dismiss divine messengers by attacking their mental faculties rather than addressing their message's truth.
