l-m-m

Description

The Arabic root لمم (l-m-m) in the Quran conveys the meaning of minor sins or small faults that occur occasionally without persistence or premeditation. The root carries the sense of something that barely touches or comes close to wrongdoing, distinguishing these lesser transgressions from major sins (kabā'ir). In its Quranic usage, particularly in Surah An-Najm (53:32), this root emphasizes Allah's mercy by indicating that He may overlook such minor lapses, especially when a person generally avoids major sins and maintains righteousness.
