j-l-l

Description

The Arabic root ج-ل-ل (j-l-l) carries the core meaning of greatness, magnificence, and majesty, emphasizing something of tremendous importance or supreme grandeur. In the Quran, it appears most notably in the phrase "Dhul-Jalali wal-Ikram" (The Possessor of Majesty and Honor) in Surah Ar-Rahman, describing Allah's transcendent greatness and awe-inspiring nature that commands reverence. This root conveys both the overwhelming magnificence of Allah and the appropriate human response of veneration before His supreme glory.
