There will wait on them youths, who will not age, Reclining thereon facing each other.ĥ6:17. Seated on couches inwrought with gold and jewels,ĥ6:16. A large party from among the early Muslims,ĥ6:15. They will be in the Gardens of Blissĥ6:13. They will have achieved nearness to God.ĥ6:12. Then you shall be divided into three groups:ĥ6:8. First, those on the right hand - how lucky are those on the right hand! Some it will bring low, others it will exalt.ĥ6:4. When the earth will be shaken violently.ĥ6:5. And the mountains will be ground to powder.ĥ6:7. Section one: The Three Categories of People in the Hereafter 56:1. When the Event (resurrection) comes to pass.ĥ6:2. None can say that its coming to pass is a lie.ĥ6:3. In this surah we propose to deal with the commentary of one section at a time rather than one verse at a time. However, we do believe that someone who genuinely and deeply begins to believe in the Afterlife, will become resigned to the trials of this world and fully resigned and happy with the blessings that await him or her in the Afterlife. Someone can recite it as a parrot every night and it will not become a magical wand for him or her to fulfill all his or her needs. We have the audacity to say that literal interpretation of this Hadith will not be true. The real blessing comes from understanding it and implementing it in our thought processes and life. We find that reading of the Quran is a blessing but not like a parrot. To know the traditional commentaries referred to by Seyyed Hossein Nasr as alphabets, please see About us page. The attribution of such qualities to this surah has led to its being one of the most often recited surahs of the Quran, especially in moments of great significance and portent, including for the dying or recently dead. Ibn ‘Ajibah states that this is because whoever understands the things mentioned in this surah regarding the Hereafter will set about preparing for it. The surah takes its name from mention of the Event in v.1, a reference to the Day of Judgment.Īccording to Syed Hossein Nasr and his associates, in the introduction to this surah:Īccording to a well-known Hadith, ‘Whosoever recites al-Waqi‘ah every night shall never be afflicted by need’ (Aj, Al, IK, Q). But on the whole their number as against the world population goes on becoming less and less.It is generally considered to be a Makkan surah.
They may be more numerous as against the Sabiqoon of the earliest period. Besides, they give another meaning also and that too is correct: Every early period of a Prophet’s following the proportion of the Sabiqoon in human population would be greater and in the later period less, for the number of the workers of good and right does not increase at the rate of increase of the human populations. The words of the verse bear all the three meanings, and possibly all three ate implied, for there is no contradiction between them. That is, there will be numerous Sabiqoon among the earliest followers of every Prophet, but among his later followers their number will decrease.
The third group holds the view that this implies the former and the latter people of every Prophet’s own ummah. That is, in his ummah the people belonging to the earliest period were the former among whom the number of the Sabiqoon will be greater, and the people of the later periods are the latter among whom the number of the Sabiqoon will be smaller. The second group says that the former and the latter in this verse imply the former and the latter people of the Holy Prophet’s (peace be upon him) own ummah itself. Accordingly the verse would mean: The number of the Sabiqoon (the foremost in faith and good deeds) among the people who passed away during the thousands of years before the advent of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would be greater, and the number of those who would attain to the rank of the Sabiqoon among those people who have been born since the advent of the Prophet (peace be upon him), or will be born till the Day of Resurrection, will be less. One group of them has expressed the view that the former people were the communities that passed away since the time of the Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) till the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the people of the latter day are those who will have lived in the world since the advent of the Prophet (peace be upon him) till the Day of Resurrection. The commentators have differed as to who are implied by the former And the latter people.
