r-s-w

Description

The Arabic root رسو (r-s-w) carries the core semantic meaning of firmness, stability, and being anchored or fixed in place. In the Quran, it appears in contexts describing both physical stability—such as mountains being firmly set in the earth to prevent its shaking—and temporal fixedness, referring to the arrival or settling of a designated time, particularly the Day of Judgment. This root emphasizes God's power in establishing order and stability in creation, while also pointing to the certainty and immovability of divinely appointed moments in time.
