56 wordsRank #191

Description

The Arabic root ن-ه-ي (n-h-y) carries the core meaning of forbidding, restraining, or reaching an endpoint/finality. In Quranic usage, it encompasses both the concept of prohibition (forbidding evil or harmful actions) and the idea of ultimate intelligence or sound judgment that comes from understanding limits and boundaries. This dual semantic range reflects the Islamic principle that true wisdom lies in recognizing what must be restrained or avoided, making those with understanding (أولو النهى - ulu al-nuha) people who possess the intelligence to discern right from wrong and act accordingly.
