l-f-w

Description

The Arabic root لفو (l-f-w) in the Quran carries the core meaning of finding or coming upon something, often unexpectedly or through discovery. This root appears in forms like alfayā (they found) and alafyā (we found), typically describing moments when people encounter or discover someone or something in their path. In the Quranic context, it often emphasizes divine providence in bringing people together or guiding them to discover what they need, such as when Moses' mother finds her infant after he was placed in the river, or when travelers come upon people or situations that serve a greater purpose in God's plan.
