gh-y-z

Description

The Arabic root غيظ (gh-y-z) conveys the concept of intense anger, rage, or fury that typically manifests visibly and causes internal distress or agitation. In the Quranic context, this root often describes the burning rage experienced by disbelievers toward believers, or the suppressed fury that will consume the hearts of hypocrites and enemies of Islam, emphasizing both the emotional intensity and the self-consuming nature of this hostile anger. The term carries a stronger connotation than ordinary anger, suggesting a seething, barely-controlled rage that eats away at the person experiencing it.
