Description

The Arabic root خلف (kh-l-f) carries the core meaning of being behind, after, or coming in succession to something or someone, whether in spatial, temporal, or hierarchical terms. In the Quran, this root encompasses both physical positioning (behind/after) and moral-legal concepts like violating agreements (failing to follow through on what should come after a promise) and succession (those who come after as inheritors or replacements). The root's significance lies in its expression of continuity and responsibility across generations, emphasizing how later peoples inherit both the legacy and accountability of those who came before them, while also warning against breaking covenants by failing to fulfill what should naturally follow one's commitments.
