m-q-t

Description

The Arabic root م-ق-ت (m-q-t) conveys the core meaning of intense hatred, loathing, or extreme disgust, representing one of the strongest forms of aversion in the Arabic language. In the Quran, this root appears primarily in contexts describing either Allah's intense hatred toward certain grave sins and hypocritical behavior (particularly saying what one does not do), or the mutual hatred between believers and disbelievers. The term carries significant theological weight as it emphasizes the severity of divine displeasure and serves as a powerful deterrent against major transgressions, particularly dishonesty and moral inconsistency.
