Description

The Arabic root ل-ع-ب (l-ʿ-b) carries the core meaning of play, amusement, or frivolous activity that lacks serious purpose or lasting benefit. In the Quran, this root consistently appears in contexts that contrast worldly distractions and idle pursuits with the serious reality of faith, accountability, and the Hereafter. The term emphasizes the deceptive nature of being preoccupied with temporal entertainment while neglecting spiritual responsibilities and ultimate truth.
