Description

The Arabic root صيص (s-y-s) relates to fortresses, strongholds, or fortified places of refuge and protection. In the Quranic context, it appears in reference to fortified structures that people build or rely upon for security and defense against enemies. The term carries significance in illustrating that no matter how strong human fortifications may be, they cannot protect against divine decree or punishment when it comes from Allah.
