Connection: Quranic word · Quran reference 18:31
Read the linked verse for the Quranic connection. The meaning and spelling notes explain the name itself; a word in the Quran is not necessarily the name of a person mentioned there.
Language and spelling
Sundus appears in Quran 18:31 as a fabric, alongside istabraq. Dictionaries distinguish its fine silk from the heavier brocade associated with istabraq; Sundus is a Quranic word used as a name, not a named woman in that verse.
