Verse (7:156)

The analysis above refers to the 156th verse of chapter 7 (sūrat l-aʿrāf):

Sahih International: And decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the Hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You." [Allah] said, "My punishment - I afflict with it whom I will, but My mercy encompasses all things." So I will decree it [especially] for those who fear Me and give zakah and those who believe in Our verses -

7:156 has the two letter root ha+dal similar to hah-waw-dal.

This potentially provides interesting insights into its commonality with the word hidaya (guidance) in Al-Fatiha and many other verses too.

-> it also defines the meaning of Jew (as we know the meaning of Muslim: one who arrives at PEACE through submission ego / self / Nafs / will, to Allah / HaSh-m / G-D), as those who turned to guidance from Allah / HaSh-m OR those guided by G-D.

The 2 letter (root) word ha-dal appears in 7:159 too .. translated in context as " .. a community guided / leading with truth ..."

-> Is there an intent to list two letter root words in the Quran as we have three letter root words? (If so we can start with the 3 letter root words, and reflect the 2 letter root words with them e.g. The waw-hah shared by Rooh and Wahi. The associations open insightful meaning.
