Root: ع ص ر Words from this Root in the Grand Qur'aan: a) Total occurrences: 5 b) No of constructions: 5 Semantic domain: Time-Span
The basic perception and signification infolded in the Root, in the words of Ibn Faris [died:1005], is this: (1) دهر-حين --Era, point in time-certain duration. (2) ضغط شىءٍ حَتَّى يتحلَّب---- press, squeeze, compress until transuded/exuded. (3) تَعَلَّقُ بشىءٍ وامتساك به----- to cling and remain attached/grasped with a thing. Lane's Lexicon: Press, or squeeze grapes or other fluffy things so as to force out its juice, syrup, honey, oil, water, or what was in it, moisture extracted, or fetched out by pressure or wringing. Further, it signifies an hour or a time of the day; the appointed time of middle prayer of five prayers of the day-صلوةُ العصرِ. It is evident from the foregoing that the basic perception infolded in the Root is to press a fluffy thing with the object of transuding/exuding the substance contained therein.
The Grand Qur'aan has a word made from this Root
denoting the Span-of-Time and not merely point in time or partial length
of time, since for those descriptions are words like دهر-حين etc. The fact that:
The man is squeezed in the time line. The time is also like a fluffy revolving/twisting ball.
Root: ء م د : Time span with regard to happening of an event Root: ء م س : Yesterday Root: ء و ن : at present time - now
Time is often referred to as the fourth dimension, along with the three spatial dimensions. In fact, reckoning of time is the feature that renders life distinct from matter. Dictionaries define: [Oxford Dictionaries] Time is the indefinite continued progression of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future. Time is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.
