Al-Wāqiʿah – Verses 38-40

لِأَصحابِ اليَمينِ

ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الأَوَّلينَ

وَثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الآخِرينَ

For the people of the right hand.

A multitude from the former ones,

and a multitude from the latter ones.

EXPOSITION

There is an evident sense of elegance and magnanimity in For the people of the right hand: the righteous servants of God are honoured by all of these rewards and bounties which are bestowed upon them. The people of the right hand consist of all generations, whether ancient or modern. The former ones and latter ones were discussed earlier under verses 13-14.
