w-s-y

Description

The Arabic root و-ص-ي (w-s-y) carries the core meaning of entrusting, enjoining, or making a bequest, encompassing both the act of giving binding instructions and ensuring their preservation and execution. In the Quranic context, this root signifies both divine commandments that God enjoins upon humanity (such as religious and moral obligations) and the human practice of making wills or testamentary bequests to ensure just distribution of wealth and care for dependents after death. The root emphasizes the binding nature of these instructions and the responsibility to faithfully carry them out, whether they originate from divine revelation or human concern for family welfare.
