The most successful, the great winner, the one who attains the great salvation, intensive form of fa'iz, from the root ف-و-ز (faza, to succeed, to win, to attain). The Quran uses this root throughout to describe the ultimate success: salvation in the Hereafter, entry into Paradise.

The masculine plural al-faizun is used for those who escape the Fire and enter Paradise: 'Indeed, those are the successful' (23:111, 24:52, 59:20, etc.). The intensified form fawwaz denotes the man who succeeds repeatedly, who attains again and again the success Allah promises His believers.
