k-f-a

Description

The Arabic root كفأ (k-f-ʾ) carries the core meaning of equality, equivalence, or being comparable to something else. In its Quranic usage, most notably in Surah al-Ikhlas (112:4) where it states there is none equal or equivalent to Allah, it emphasizes the absolute uniqueness and incomparability of God. This root underscores a fundamental Islamic theological concept of divine transcendence, asserting that nothing in creation can match, equal, or be similar to the Creator in His essence, attributes, or actions.
