s-r-m

Description

The Arabic root صرم (s-r-m) carries the core meaning of cutting off, severing, or harvesting completely. In the Quran, it appears in contexts related to the gathering of crops and fruits, emphasizing the decisive act of reaping or plucking at the proper time. This root is particularly significant in Quranic passages that use agricultural metaphors to illustrate divine judgment, the consequences of human actions, and the finality of harvesting what one has sown, both literally in terms of crops and metaphorically in terms of deeds.
