z-m-h-r

Description

The Arabic root ز-م-ه-ر (z-m-h-r) conveys the concept of extreme, biting cold that causes physical discomfort and color changes in the skin. In the Quran, it appears in Surah Al-Insan (76:13) in the word "zamharīr" (زمهريرا), describing the believers in Paradise being protected from the scorching heat of the sun and the bitter freezing cold, emphasizing the perfect climate and comfort they will enjoy. This root captures the severity of cold as a natural hardship from which the righteous will be shielded in the afterlife, contrasting earthly suffering with heavenly ease.
