k-f-t

Description

The Arabic root كفت (k-f-t) carries the core meaning of gathering, collecting, or drawing things together into one place. In the Quran, it appears in Surah Al-Mursalat (77:25) where the earth is described as a receptacle (kifātan) that gathers and contains both the living and the dead. This imagery emphasizes Allah's design of the earth as a temporary dwelling and final resting place for humanity, highlighting themes of divine providence and the natural cycle of life and death.
