w-d-q

Description

The Arabic root و-د-ق (w-d-q) conveys the core meaning of pouring down forcefully or falling heavily, primarily used in the Quran to describe intense rainfall. In its Quranic context, it appears in Surah An-Nur (24:43) where Allah describes how He sends down hail from mountain-like clouds in the sky, emphasizing divine power over natural phenomena. The root captures the forceful, concentrated nature of precipitation as a sign of Allah's control over life-giving and potentially destructive forces in nature.
