k-a-s

Description

The Arabic root كأس (k-a-s) refers to a cup or goblet, specifically one containing wine or drink, and appears in the Quran exclusively in descriptions of Paradise and its rewards for believers. The term consistently denotes a vessel filled with pure, intoxicating beverages that the righteous will enjoy in the afterlife, symbolizing divine pleasure and eternal bliss. This root emphasizes the material and sensory delights awaiting the faithful, contrasting earthly prohibitions with heavenly permissions where such cups contain wine that causes no ill effects.
