k-s-w

Description

The Arabic root كسو (k-s-w) carries the core meaning of covering or clothing, referring to the act of providing garments or covering something with a layer. In the Quranic context, this root appears in passages discussing God's provision of clothing for humanity as both physical protection and a symbol of modesty and dignity, as well as metaphorical uses describing how things are covered or veiled. The concept emphasizes divine care for human needs and the theological importance of covering as it relates to human decency and God's creative power in adorning His creation.
