Tafseer of Surah Al-Waqi’ah 10. And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). Foremost (in Faith): There are two meanings, and both are implied. (1) Those who have reached the highest degree in spiritual understanding, such as the great prophets and teachers of mankind, will also take precedence in the Hereafter. (2) Those who are the first in time the quickest and readiest—to accept Allah's Message will have the first place in the Kingdom of Heaven. Verses 8, 9 and 10 mention the three main categories or classifications after Judgement. In the subsequent verses their happiness or misery are symbolized. This category, Foremost in Faith, is nearest to Allah. 11. These will be those Nearest to Allah. Nearness to Allah is the test of the highest Bliss. 12. In Gardens of Bliss: 13. A number of people from those of old, of great Prophets and Teachers there were many before the time of the Prophet Muhammad. As he was the last of the Prophets, he and he great Teachers under his Dispensation will be comparatively fewer in number, but their teaching is the sum and flower of all mankind's spiritual experience. 14. And a few from those of later times. 15. (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with gold and precious stones), Cf. 15:47 ; 37:44, 52:20, and 88:13.
Hazrat Abu Said Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH)
said, "Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection), 'O Adam.' Adam will
reply, 'Labbaik wa Sa'daik', and all the good is in Your Hand.' Allah
will say: 'Bring out the people of the fire.' Adam will say: 'O Allah!
How many are the people of the Fire?' Allah will reply: 'From every one
thousand, take out nine-hundred-and ninety-nine.' At that time children
will become hoary headed, every pregnant female will have a miscarriage,
and one will see mankind as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but
dreadful will be the Wrath of Allah." The companions of the Prophet
asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is that (excepted) one?" He said,
"Rejoice with glad tidings; one person will be from you and one-thousand
will be from Gog and Magog." The Prophet [SAWW](PBUH)
further said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, hope that you will be
one-fourth of the people of Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He
added, "I hope that you will be one-third of the people of Paradise." We
shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He said, "I hope that you will be half of the
people of Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He further said, "You
(Muslims) (compared with non-Muslims) are like a black hair in the skin
of a white ox or like a white hair in the skin of a black ox (i.e. your
number is very small as compared with theirs)."
[Bukhari Book 04, Chapter 55, Hadith # 567].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Waqi’ah Ayat 13. A multitude of those (foremost) will be from the first generations (who embraced Islam).
