Description

The Arabic root سكت (s-k-t) in the Quran conveys the core meaning of becoming still, quiet, or calmed, particularly after a state of agitation or intensity. It appears in Surah Al-A'raf (7:154) describing how Moses' anger subsided or was calmed after his initial fury upon seeing his people worshipping the calf. This root emphasizes the transition from emotional turbulence to tranquility, highlighting the importance of regaining composure and self-control, especially for prophetic leadership in moments of crisis.
