z-kh-r-f

Description

The Arabic root ز-خ-ر-ف (z-kh-r-f) carries the core meaning of ornamentation, decoration, and embellishment, often referring to gold adornments or elaborate beautification that is superficially attractive. In the Quranic context, this root typically denotes worldly luxuries and material splendor that are either temporary in nature or can be deceptive, emphasizing the contrast between outward beauty and inner spiritual value. The term often appears in discussions of worldly possessions and paradise's adornments, highlighting both the allure of material decoration and the importance of looking beyond surface appearances to deeper truths.
