sh-kh-s

Description

The Arabic root شخص (sh-kh-s) in the Quran conveys the core meaning of eyes being wide open, fixed, and unblinking, typically describing a state of terror, shock, or inability to look away. This root appears in contexts describing the Day of Judgment when people's eyes will be fixed in horror at the overwhelming scenes before them, unable to blink or turn away from the reality they witness. The imagery emphasizes the paralyzing fear and awe that will grip disbelievers when confronted with the inevitable divine reckoning.
