Description
The Arabic root ج-ب-ل (j-b-l) carries the core meaning of firmness, strength, and immovability, most commonly manifested in the word for mountain (jabal). In the Quran, this root appears in references to physical mountains as signs of God's creative power and stability in the earth, as well as metaphorically for human disposition (jibillah/nature) and large groups or generations of people who are firmly established. The semantic connection between mountains and these extended meanings emphasizes the concept of something firmly created, deeply rooted, and resistant to change, whether in physical landscape, human nature, or collective identity.
