sh-f-y

Description

The Arabic root شفي (sh-f-y) carries the core meaning of healing, curing, and restoration to wholeness, encompassing both physical and spiritual wellness. In the Quranic context, this root is significant because it emphasizes that true healing comes from Allah, whether through the Quran itself as a spiritual cure for the hearts, through natural remedies like honey, or through divine intervention in illness. The root conveys completeness of recovery and the removal of disease or affliction, establishing Allah as the ultimate Healer (al-Shafi) who restores believers to a state of health and soundness.
