Definition of Jls
The origin of al-jals: the elevated and hard land.
Najd is called 'jals' for this.
It is reported that the Prophet ﷺ gave him land in the jals.
Al-julûs (sitting) comes from the idea of stability and elevation on a seat.
O you who have believed, when you are told, "Space yourselves" in assemblies, then make space; Allah will make space for you. And when you are told, "Arise," then arise; Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do.
