j-r-r

Description

The Arabic root جرر (j-r-r) carries the core meaning of pulling, dragging, or drawing something along, typically with force or effort. In the Quran, it appears in the context of the damned being dragged into Hell, emphasizing the involuntary and forceful nature of their punishment and their complete powerlessness before divine justice. This imagery underscores the humiliation and inevitability of the fate awaiting those who reject faith, contrasting sharply with the honored entry of the righteous into Paradise.
