- ⚖️ Justice & Ethics roots refine our moral compass.
- 🧬 Human Behavior roots decode our inner struggles and growth.
✨ The Healing Intention
This thematic mapping is not just academic; it is devotional. It invites readers to:
- 📖 Reconnect with the Qur’an as a living guide
- 🧭 Trace spiritual ailments to their linguistic remedies
- 📝 Use root-based tafsīr to deepen their duʿā, dhikr, and journaling

🧭 A Final Reflection
The Qur’an is not just recited; it is received. And its roots are not just linguistic; they are spiritual arteries. To study them is to purify the heart, align the intellect, and walk the path of healing with divine light.
May this reflection be a means of tazkiyah for every seeker who engages with it. May every root word become a root of transformation.
“Indeed, in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind].”
(Qur’an 50:37)
