Al-Waqiah.

The prophet(saw) said:
“Whoever reads one letter from the book of Allah will earn one good
deed (hasanah).
One good deed is equal to ten good deeds.
I don’t say that Alif-laam-Meem is a letter but Alif is a letter, Lam is a
letter and Meem is a letter.
Hadith recorded in At-Tirmidhi classed as Saheeh(2910).

Section-2

Similarly in the other surah of the Quran, Allah says about the People
of the Left Hand

56:10)And foremost shall be the foremost.
• The word “the foremost” (Sabiqun) refers to the fortunate believers
who will be granted special nearness to Allah because they excelled
in performing good deeds, as Allah commanded them.
• They rush towards performing Allah’s command which leads them
to earn Allah’s mercy and pleasure.
Section-2
of Judgement
َِ‫ون‬‫ق‬ِ‫ب‬‫ا‬َّ‫س‬‫ال‬
The foremost

Similarly in the other Surahs of the Quran, Allah (swt) says about the
foremost believers
ِْ‫م‬‫ه‬ْ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬َ‫و‬ِ‫ق‬ِ‫ب‬‫ا‬َ‫س‬ِِ‫ت‬‫ا‬َ‫ر‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫خ‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬ِ‫ب‬ِِ‫ن‬ْ‫ذ‬ِ‫إ‬ِ‫ب‬ِِ َّ‫اّلل‬ِۚ
35:32)And of them are some who are , by Allah leave, foremost in good
deeds.
‫وا‬‫ع‬ ِ‫ار‬َ‫س‬َ‫و‬ِ‫ى‬َ‫ل‬ِ‫إ‬ِ‫ة‬َ‫ر‬ِ‫ف‬ْ‫غ‬َ‫م‬ِْ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬ِْ‫م‬‫ك‬ِ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬ِ‫ة‬َّ‫ن‬َ‫ج‬َ‫و‬‫ا‬َ‫ه‬‫ض‬ْ‫َر‬‫ع‬َِ‫او‬َ‫م‬َّ‫س‬‫ال‬ِ‫ات‬ِ‫ض‬ْ‫ر‬َ ْ‫اْل‬َ‫و‬
3:133)Rush towards the forgiveness from your Rabb to a Paradise as
vast as the Heavens and the earth.
‫وا‬‫ق‬ِ‫ب‬‫ا‬َ‫س‬ِ‫ى‬َ‫ل‬ِ‫إ‬ِ‫ة‬َ‫ر‬ِ‫ف‬ْ‫غ‬َ‫م‬ِْ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬ِْ‫م‬‫ك‬ِ‫ب‬َ‫ر‬ِ‫ة‬َّ‫ن‬َ‫ج‬َ‫و‬‫ا‬َ‫ه‬‫ض‬ْ‫َر‬‫ع‬ِِ‫ض‬ْ‫ر‬َ‫ع‬َ‫ك‬‫ا‬ِِ‫اء‬َ‫م‬َّ‫س‬‫ل‬ِِ‫ض‬ْ‫ر‬َ ْ‫اْل‬َ‫و‬
57:21)Therefore, hastily strive for the forgiveness of your Rabb and for
the paradise which is as vast as the heaven and the earth.
Section-2
of Judgement

Analysis:
When the inevitable event will take place, all peoples will be divided
into three classes.
1) The foremost in rank and position [Prophets, martyrs and
righteous].
2) The people of the right [common righteous believers].
3) The people of the left [persisted in disbelief of Allah, his messenger
the day of judgement and the Quran].

⮚The earlier generation consists of the Holy Prophet(saw) and his
companions.

⮚Later generation includes all those who came after the Holy
Prophet(saw)and his companions.

Muhammad (saw).
• The words( ِ‫يل‬‫ل‬‫ق‬ِ‫ن‬‫م‬ِ‫ين‬‫ر‬‫خ‬ ‫أ‬‫اْل‬ ) mean a small number of the foremost

77:31)giving neither coolness nor shelter from the flames.
Section-5

The characteristics and conduct of the people of left hand:
1) Showing Ingratitude to the blessings and favours of Allah:
ِْ‫م‬‫ه‬َّ‫ن‬ِ‫إ‬‫وا‬‫َان‬‫ك‬َِ‫ل‬ْ‫ب‬َ‫ق‬َِ‫ك‬ِ‫ل‬َ‫ذ‬َِ‫ين‬ِ‫ف‬َ‫ر‬ْ‫ت‬‫م‬
56:45)For they lived in comfort before meeting this fate.
Section-5
َِ‫ين‬ِ‫ف‬َ‫ر‬ْ‫ت‬‫م‬
Indulge in Luxury

Characteristics of the People of the Left Hand
• They were lost in enjoying life’s pleasures and satisfying their
whims and fancies while ignoring the invitation towards the
truth.
• Their prosperity had an adverse effect on them. Instead of
being grateful for Allah’s blessings and favours, they had
become disobedient and ungrateful to Allah.
Section-5

2) Persisting in the Disbelief in Allah:
‫وا‬‫َان‬‫ك‬َ‫و‬َِ‫ون‬ُّ‫ر‬ ِ‫ص‬‫ي‬‫ى‬َ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬ِِ‫ث‬ْ‫ن‬ ِ‫ح‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬ِِ‫يم‬ِ‫ظ‬َ‫ع‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬

Allah is considered to be the greatest sin).
• Claimed Idols were gods besides Allah.

‫وا‬‫َان‬‫ك‬َ‫و‬َِ‫ون‬‫ول‬‫ق‬َ‫ي‬‫ا‬َ‫ذ‬ِ‫ئ‬َ‫أ‬‫ا‬َ‫ن‬ْ‫ت‬ِ‫م‬‫ا‬َّ‫ن‬‫ك‬َ‫و‬‫ا‬‫اب‬َ‫ر‬‫ت‬‫ا‬‫ام‬َ‫ظ‬ِ‫ع‬َ‫و‬‫ا‬َّ‫ن‬ِ‫إ‬َ‫أ‬ِْ‫ب‬َ‫م‬َ‫ل‬َِ‫ون‬‫وث‬‫ع‬
56:47)And used to say: "When we are dead and turned to dust and
bones, shall we then be raised to life again?
‫ا‬َ‫ن‬‫اؤ‬َ‫ب‬‫آ‬َ‫و‬َ‫أ‬َِ‫ون‬‫ل‬َّ‫و‬َ ْ‫اْل‬
56:48)And our forefathers, too?“
• They reckoned that it was impossible to resurrect them and their
forefathers after their bodies would decay and decompose into
dust.
• They denied the resurrection, reward and punishment.
• They denied meeting Allah on that day.
Section-5

ِْ‫ل‬‫ق‬َِّ‫ن‬ِ‫إ‬َِ‫ين‬ِ‫ل‬َّ‫و‬َ ْ‫اْل‬َِ‫ين‬ ِ‫ر‬ ِ‫خ‬ ْ‫اْل‬َ‫و‬

56:50)Shall certainly be brought together on an appointed time of a
known Day.
• These verses are in response to their denying the day of
resurrection.
• The verse addresses the Prophet(saw) but the real audience is the
disbelievers of Makkah.
• Allah is reminding the disbelievers that the earlier and later
generation of the children of Adam(a.s) will be gathered on the day
of resurrection and none of them will be left out.

[َِ‫ون‬ُّ‫ل‬‫ا‬َّ‫ض‬‫:ال‬ misguided] and [َِ‫ون‬‫ِب‬‫َذ‬‫ك‬‫م‬ْ‫ل‬‫:ا‬ denier] due to their crimes
[polytheism and denial of the hereafter].
• They are warned that they will be seized and made to eat from the
tree of zaqqum until their stomachs become full.
Section-5

Similarly In The other Surahs of the Quran, Allah(swt) says about the
Zaqqum Tree
َِّ‫ن‬ِ‫إ‬َِ‫ت‬َ‫ر‬َ‫ج‬َ‫ش‬ِِ‫وم‬ُّ‫ق‬َّ‫الز‬
44:43)Surely the Zaqqum tree
ِ‫ام‬َ‫ع‬َ‫ط‬‫يم‬ِ‫ث‬َ ْ‫اْل‬

ِِ‫ل‬ْ‫ه‬‫م‬ْ‫ل‬‫َا‬‫ك‬‫ي‬ِ‫ل‬ْ‫غ‬َ‫ي‬‫ي‬ِ‫ف‬ِِ‫ون‬‫ط‬‫ب‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
44:45)it will be like the drags of oil. Which shall boil in the belly
ِِ‫ي‬ْ‫ل‬َ‫غ‬َ‫ك‬ِِ‫يم‬ِ‫م‬َ‫ح‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
44:46)like the boiling of scalding water.
Section-5

2.Drinking Boiling water:
َِ‫ون‬‫ب‬ ِ‫َار‬‫ش‬َ‫ف‬ِِ‫ه‬ْ‫ي‬َ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬َِ‫ن‬ِ‫م‬ِِ‫يم‬ِ‫م‬َ‫ح‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
56:54)And drink on top of it scalding water;
َِ‫ون‬‫ب‬ ِ‫َار‬‫ش‬َ‫ف‬َِ‫ب‬ْ‫ر‬‫ش‬ِِ‫يم‬ِ‫ه‬ْ‫ل‬‫ا‬
56:55)yet you shall drink it like a thirsty camel.“
• The verses portray the scene of the punishment of the disbelievers
in the Hell.
• They are told that you will drink boiling water like thirsty camels do.
• This water will never quench their thirst.
Section-5
َِ‫ون‬‫ب‬ ِ‫َار‬‫ش‬َ‫ف‬

56:56)Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Reckoning.
• ‫نزل‬refer to the edibles which are presented to a guest as soon as he
enters.
• The tree of Zaqqum and hot water will be served to entertain the
disbelievers on the day of resurrection.
