(a.), nom d’action de la forme V de t-r-f, actuellement le terme arabe usuel pour désigner l’extrémisme, le radicalisme. Il signifie littéralement «s’écarter», «dévier» ( inḥirāf), «ne pas (vouloir) s’en tenir constamment à une chose» (cf. Lane, s.u.), «exagérer». Métaphoriquement, le mot s’entend comme le contraire de «modéré». Cette dernière acception renvoie à l’éternelle idée de «juste milieu» entre deux extrêmes, associée au concept de «modération» ( tawassuṭ, iʿtidāl), par opposition au «radicalisme». La notion d’extrémisme a fait son entrée après la Secon…

Author(s): Badry, Roswitha | Lewis, B.
(a., verbal noun of form I), basically meaning, according to the authoritative lexicologists, “putting a thing in a place not its own” (Lane, LA, TA), i.e. displacement. In the moral sphere, it denotes acting in such a way as to transgress the proper limit and encroach upon the right of some other person. In common usage, ẓulm has come to signify wrongdoing, evil, injustice, oppression and tyranny, particularly by persons who have power and authority.
