s-q-f

Description

The Arabic root سقف (s-q-f) refers to a roof, ceiling, or overhead covering that provides shelter and protection. In the Quran, it appears in contexts emphasizing Allah's power as Creator, such as references to the sky as a protected roof held up without pillars, and warnings about potential divine punishment through the collapse of physical roofs. The root carries connotations of divine architecture and providence, illustrating both the protective canopy of heaven above and the fragility of human constructions without God's support.
