h-d-q

Description

The Arabic root ح-د-ق (h-d-q) carries the core meaning of enclosure, surrounding, or being enclosed in a circular or protected space. In the Quran, it appears exclusively in the form حَدَائِق (hadā'iq), meaning enclosed gardens or orchards, emphasizing cultivated paradisiacal spaces that are protected and bounded. This term is significant in Quranic discourse as it describes both the bounties of this world and the rewards of Paradise, highlighting the imagery of lush, protected gardens as symbols of divine blessing and ultimate reward for believers.
