Verb

شَاقَّ (šāqqa) III (non-past يُشَاقُّ (yušāqqu), verbal noun شِقَاق (šiqāq) or مُشَاقَّة (mušāqqa))

  1. to go against, to oppose, to clash with, to contend with
  2. to defy, to disobey, to rebel against
Usage notes

Because of the general significations of the root (that is, connoting cracks, splits, and fissures), the verb often implies "creating divisions" or "being a troublemaker," hence its use to refer to rebels and armed dissenters. Compare with التحم, which instead refers to fierce physical engagement between two or more parties.
