Root: خ ت م Words from this Root in the Grand Qur'aan: a) Total occurrences: 8 b) No of constructions: 6 Nouns: 3; Verbs: 3 [Form-I] Learned Ibn Faris [died-1005] described the perception infolded in the Root as under: مقاييس اللغة الخاء والتاء والميم أصلٌ واحد، وهو بُلوغ آخِرِ الشّيء. يقال خَتَمْتُ العَمَل، وخَتم القارئ السُّورة. فأمَّا الخَتْم، وهو الطَّبع على الشَّيء، فذلك من الباب أيضاً؛ لأنّ الطَّبْع على الشيءِ لا يكون إلاّ بعد بلوغ آخِرِه، في الأحراز He described the basic perception of the Root as crossing over to the tail end of a thing. It means to conclude, end, close or finish a performance. It denotes sealing an object after accomplishment of job at the point of entry and exit in such manner that thereafter nothing can enter therein or spill over. Lane's Lexicon says that it means to reach the end of a thing, and it is contra of inauguration; sealing, putting an impression or signet upon a thing in consideration of protection. Grand Qur'aan itself is the Superb Lexicon since it exposes the meanings of its important words by using it in different semantic fields whereby one can perceive all its dimensions relating to substance as well accident including metaphorical aspect.
This is the scene
of a group of people in wait for escort to the
Paradise on the Day of Judgment. They are served exquisitely matured
wine. As is the Active Participle: How simple and straight forward is the perception conveyed by Root "خ ت م", please see it:
Root of
Sealing, closing, wrapping, impressing the epilogue on hearts of people who deny and persist to remain in state of non-belief is finally portrayed in this Ayah:
I hope the perception and meanings infolded in Root "خ ت م" have conspicuously surfaced. Related Root: Nouns

;
word:
a Passive Participle is also from
خَتْمٌ-خِتَامٌ
Verbal Noun; خَتَمَ-يَخْتَمُ
Verb of Root "خ
ت م". Let us not be lost in the
aroma of this super wine; it is a long journey to get it; but move
on with our study. Verbal Noun of these Participles also
finds mention
.
A verbal noun denotes an action or a state. Sealed bottle of
wine prevents its leakage, spill over holding it securely in the bottle.
:
First Person; Plural; Masculine Verb in indicative mood from Root
"خ ت م". Their mouths will be sealed-gagged
which will prevent them from speaking or crying out.
This effect of sealing is that they
will not be able to articulate an expression; whereby their
hands will verbally orate that which they people kept doing in
worldly life.
: Verb:
Perfect; Third Person; Singular; Masculine; active; مصدر خَتْمٌ
Verbal Noun. Allah the Exalted is the Subject of verb.
The
prepositional phrase coupled with possessive phrase:
"upon the hearts of them", relates to the Verb. It signifies that the
effect of the act denoted by verb is upon their hearts. And ultimate
result is that a grave torment is in wait for them. This is their
epilogue, the detail of outcome-inevitable consequence of what they did
and earned in life. This is the concluding remark of Allah the Exalted
that He has put the epilogue upon their hearts which symbolizes with
sealing their self made wraps upon their hearts. The point in time for
sealing an object is when it has since been wrapped in some covering,
envelop. It is explained again in more simple terms:
: It
is a plural noun and signifies wraps, envelops,
coverings for things. The epilogue-sealing of hearts is
reflective of an act and state of crossing over the ultimate
end-finished-accomplished stage, which is the basic perception infolded
in Root "خ ت م".
People said that their hearts are
wrapped in coverings which reflects a stage immediately prior to sealing
an object signified by verb:
"Allah the Exalted has discarded
them as condemned and cursed".
This is crossing the extreme end,
and point of no return in any association.
And the cause of this
permanent condemnation is:
because of
their act and persistence in refusal to accept. Grand Qur'aan also uses
rotational technique to highlight meaning and perception of concepts by
using synonymous words about the same subject with different sentence
structures:
"Allah the Exalted has impressed the epilogue". And
here too the location is "hearts"-signifying intellectual
consciousness. Its reason is the same as was given earlier:
Passive
participle: Definite; Masculine; singular; genitive. (1)83:25=1
