Definition of Rimd

One says 'ramâd' and 'rimdid' (ash).

Armad: ashy gray.

Allah says: 'Their deeds are like ashes (ramâd)' (Ibrâhîm: 18).

Disbelievers' deeds are scattered like ashes carried by wind.

Rimd in the Quran (1)

Meccan: 1 Medinan: 0
Surah Ibrahim : 18 Meccan
﴿مَّثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ أَعْمَٰلُهُمْ كَرَمَادٍ ٱشْتَدَّتْ بِهِ ٱلرِّيحُ فِى يَوْمٍ عَاصِفٍ لَّا يَقْدِرُونَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا۟ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلضَّلَٰلُ ٱلْبَعِيدُ﴾
The example of those who disbelieve in their Lord is [that] their deeds are like ashes which the wind blows forcefully on a stormy day; they are unable [to keep] from what they earned a [single] thing. That is what is extreme error.
