Full Definition
Sabiqun (plural of sabiq) means 'the foremost' or 'those who are first.' The Quran uses this term for those who are foremost in faith and righteousness. In Ismaili interpretation, this can refer to those who have attained the highest spiritual stations, particularly the Imams and awliya (friends of God) who lead others on the path.
