sh-h-n

Description

The Arabic root شحن (sh-h-n) carries the core meaning of loading, filling, or carrying cargo, particularly in the context of ships or vessels being laden with heavy loads. In the Quran, it appears in references to Noah's ark and ships carrying passengers, emphasizing the divine mercy in providing transportation across water and the image of vessels fully loaded with people or goods. The root conveys both the physical act of loading and the state of being laden or burdened, often highlighting God's power in creating vessels that can bear heavy weights and transport humanity safely.
