gh-y-th

Description

The Arabic root غيث (gh-y-th) fundamentally means beneficial rain or abundant rainfall that comes at a time of need, particularly emphasizing life-giving precipitation that revives the earth and provides sustenance. In the Quranic context, this root carries significant theological weight as it often symbolizes Allah's mercy, provision, and power to bring life from death, serving as both a literal description of rain and a metaphor for divine blessing and revival of spiritually barren hearts. The term distinguishes itself from other rain-related words by emphasizing the timely, beneficial, and救助-bringing nature of the rainfall rather than mere precipitation.
