n-'-m

Description

The Arabic root ن-ع-م (n-'-m) fundamentally conveys the concept of blessing, favor, grace, and bounty bestowed upon someone. In the Quranic context, this root predominantly refers to Allah's countless blessings and favors granted to humanity, ranging from tangible provisions like livestock and sustenance to spiritual gifts such as guidance and faith. The frequent Quranic usage of this root emphasizes the relationship between the Divine Giver and human recipients, calling believers to recognize, appreciate, and be grateful for these ni'mah (blessings) while warning against ingratitude and denial of Allah's benevolence.
