وَاقِفٌstands

Example sentences

• فالأصولي الواقف مع الظواهر والآثار عند خصومه يجعلونه مجسما وحشويا ومبتدعا،

  So the theologian who adheres to the apparent texts and traditions, his opponents label him an anthropomorphist, a literalist, and an innovator.

  الوَاقِفُ — who adheres. This active participle ('the one halting / standing firm') trails and defines the theologian — the kind who 'stops at' the plain texts. It is definite, agreeing with its noun, and pairs with the word coming next to say what he stands by.
