gh-w-l

Description

The Arabic root غول (gh-w-l) carries the core meaning of causing harm, intoxication, or adverse effects that overcome or seize someone, derived from the concept of something that "takes away" one's reason or well-being. In the Quranic context, it appears in reference to the wine of Paradise, describing that it will have no bad effect or intoxication (lā ghawl), contrasting with earthly wine that impairs judgment and causes harm. This root emphasizes the perfection of Paradise's bounties, which provide pure pleasure without the negative consequences associated with their worldly counterparts.
