k-f-y

Description

The Arabic root كفي (k-f-y) carries the core meaning of sufficiency, being enough, or providing adequately for a need. In the Quranic context, this root appears predominantly in phrases affirming Allah's complete sufficiency as a protector, witness, guardian, or helper for believers, emphasizing that God alone is adequate for all human needs and that reliance on Him is enough. The root conveys both the concept of something being sufficient in itself and the act of Allah sufficing or providing sufficiently for His servants, thereby reinforcing the Islamic principle of tawakkul (complete trust and reliance on God).
