f-q-d

Description

The Arabic root فقد (f-q-d) carries the core semantic meaning of loss, absence, or lacking something that was previously present or expected to be present. In the Quranic context, it appears in words relating to inspection or checking (تفقد - tafaqqada), which implies searching for what is missing, and the state of missing or losing something (فقد - faqada). This root emphasizes the human experience of noticing absence and the act of seeking what is lost, often highlighting themes of awareness, accountability, and the consequences of deprivation in both material and spiritual dimensions.
