Determining the word *al-Mu'akhkhir* in the poet's verse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, in the verse of the poet (may Allah have mercy on him), he mentioned being ahead in the race, and *al-Mu'akhkhir* here is one who is delayed in that arena. The question is about the pronunciation of *al-Mu'akhkhir*: is it *mu'akhkhir* as a passive participle, or *mu'akhkhir* as an active participle, meaning one who is delayed in this world?
Answer:
Both are correct. Both are correct. *Mu'akhkhir* means one who is delayed in himself, and *al-Mu'akhkhir* is also the one whose sins and deeds have delayed him and weighed him down. Both *al-Mu'akhkhir* and *mu'akhkhir* are acceptable. The important point is that the one who is delayed in attending the Friday prayer will be delayed on the Day of Resurrection from the Day of Increase. That is the important point. And the one who hastens to the Friday prayer will hasten to the Day of Increase. The reward is of the same kind as the deed. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
