Fajir

In the context of Islam, a faajir (Arabic: فاجر fājir; plural فجرة fajarah) is a "wicked evil-doer", i.e. a "sinner by action".[1] Compare kafir, a "sinner by disbelief in Allah".

The word appears in The Qur'an in Surah Abasa:

اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡكَفَرَةُ الۡفَجَرَةُ
"Such will be the Kafarah (disbelievers in Allâh, in His Oneness, and in His Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, etc.), (and) the Fajarah (wicked evil doers)."

Quran 80:42
