مُفْلِحsuccessful

Example sentences

• فهذه أربع صفات أخرجتهم من زمرة المفلحين وأدخلتهم في جملة الهالكين

  So, these are four traits that removed them from the group of the successful and placed them among the doomed.

  الْمُفْلِحِينَ — the successful. This is an active participle in the plural carrying 'the', a doer-noun meaning 'the successful', those who prosper. It is owned by 'company' before it, taking the genitive ending; Arabic builds this doer-noun from the verb of succeeding.

• وَمَنْ هُوَ بَخِيلٌ شَحِيحٌ فَلَيْسَ بَوَّاقٌ وَلَا مُفْلِحٌ

  And whoever is miserly and stingy is neither spared nor successful.

  مُفْلِحٌ — successful. This is a doer-noun built from a verb, here standing as the second denied predicate under the is-not particle. The earlier negation still governs it, giving 'nor successful'.
