سوال: پچھلی قوموں میں جب رسول آئے تو مخاطبین کڑے امتحان سے گزرتے تھے اور نتیجہ میں شہدا، صالحین یا صدیقین بننے کا موقع انُ کو نصیب ہوتا تھا۔ کیا یہ موقع / یا ویسا مقام ان کے بعد کے مسلمانوں کو ملے گا۔ مثلاً مجھے یہ موقع اب ممکن ہی نہیں مل سکے کیونکہ کسی رسول نے آنا ہی نہیں اور نہ اس امتحان نے ہونا ہے اور نہ اس عظیم منصب کو حاصل کرنے کا موقع؟ یہ موقع کیوں خاص لوگوں ہی کو نصیب ہوا، کیا حکمت ہے اس میں؟
One group shall be of the companions of the right hand; so what to speak of the companions of the right hand! The second group shall be of the companions of the left hand; so what humiliation shall befall the companions of the left hand! And the foremost, are in fact the foremost. They shall be the favoured ones; living in gardens of delight: most among them will be from the earlier ones[8]but only a few from the later ones[9]. They shall recline on jewelled couches face to face. Immortal youths shall run around them to serve them with bowls and ewers and cups of purest wine that will neither cause headaches nor take away their sanity; and fruits of their own choice and meat of the birds they desire. And for them shall be large-eyed houris like hidden pearls: a reward for their deeds that they did. There they shall hear no absurd talk, no sinful speech. Only greetings and congratulations everywhere. (56:8-26)

Foot Notes:
[8]. The actual word is: ثُلَّةٌ. It means “group” or “party”; however, since it occurs here in contrast to قَلِيلٌ (small), the meaning of large group is incorporated in it.
[9]. Earlier ones and later ones refer to the earlier and later generations of this ummah. However, in principle, it can be said that this division exist in the followers of every prophet and messenger. In verse thirty two of Surah Fatiir, these three categories are also mentioned as a general principle.
