The Meaning of the Saying of Allah, the Exalted: "And you were three groups."
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, divided the people on this Day in Surat al-Waqi'ah into three groups:
The first: the forerunners, the second: the companions of the right hand, and the third: the companions of the left hand.
As for the forerunners, He said:, and these two words are one word, but each word has a meaning. The forerunners to good deeds are the forerunners on the Day of Resurrection to the reward. It is not a synonymous word, but rather a word where each one has a meaning. So whoever is a forerunner in this world to righteous work, he will be a forerunner on the Day of Resurrection to the reward. For this reason, the people pass over the Sirat, which is the bridge erected over Hellfire, passing over it according to their deeds, according to their acceptance and their haste to good and their avoidance of evil.
These forerunners are the brought near to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and they are the closest of the believers to Allah. And we know that the Gardens are levels, some above others, until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: meaning: they look at them as lights that sparkle, very high, because everyone has levels according to what they did.
Then Allah mentioned their reward, and He mentioned the reward of the companions of the right hand, then the reward of the companions of the Hellfire, the companions of the left hand.
The first: the forerunners, the second: the companions of the right hand, and the third: the companions of the left hand.
As for the forerunners, He said:
The forerunners, the forerunners

Indeed, the people of Paradise will look at the companions of the elevated rooms as people look at the bright star in the horizon
إن أهل الجنة ليتراءون إلى أصحاب الغرف العالية كما يتراءا الناس إلى الكوكب الدري الغابر في الأفقThen Allah mentioned their reward, and He mentioned the reward of the companions of the right hand, then the reward of the companions of the Hellfire, the companions of the left hand.
