Meaning & Usage
01
"cursed / damned / accursed"
Someone upon whom la'na (divine curse) has been placed. The Quran uses this word for Satan (Iblis al-mal'oun) and for peoples God destroyed. Calling someone mal'oun invokes the same curse that God placed on the devil — you are rejected by God, expelled from divine mercy, destined for hellfire.
