k-f-f

Description

The Arabic root كفف (k-f-f) carries the core meaning of restraining, holding back, or withdrawing something from action or extension. In the Quran, it appears in contexts describing both physical restraint (such as withholding hands from fighting or drawing back) and divine intervention where Allah restrains people from harm or conflict. The root emphasizes the concept of controlled cessation and protective withdrawal, often highlighting moments where restraint serves a higher moral or spiritual purpose, whether it's believers holding back from retaliation or God preventing violence between communities.
