l-h-q

Description

The Arabic root ل-ح-ق (l-ḥ-q) carries the core meaning of catching up to, following after, or joining someone or something that has gone ahead. In the Quranic context, this root typically refers to reuniting with others in the afterlife, particularly believers joining their righteous ancestors or descendants in Paradise, or wrongdoers catching up with those who preceded them in punishment. The concept emphasizes continuity across generations and the ultimate gathering of people according to their deeds and faith, reflecting the Quran's themes of divine justice and familial bonds that transcend earthly life.
