ASHABU AL-MAYMANATI (Companions of the Right)

  000078

In Surah al-Balad (90:17-18), Allah, Al-Muqtadir (The All-Determining, The Prevailing and Powerful Ordainer), in the previous ayats, outlines what the uphill road is: freeing enslaved and captive people, feeding starving orphans of our relatives, especially during times of drought, famine, etc., and other very needy people. In these two ayats, Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala says that those people who do these actions are of those who believe and enjoin others to be patient and compassionate. Therefore, they are ashabu al-maymanati (companions of the right). They are on the Right Path and they are the right companions of Paradise, inshallah, because they display “strong sincerity in the three dimensions of belief, morals and action” and are thus successful in climbing the uphill road. So their deeds will be accepted by Al-Muqtadir. Concerning the word thumma (then), some commentators say that “faith and enjoining patience and compassionate kindness is higher than the value of helping the indigent or…good deeds originate from faith and high morals.” Other commentators say that “good deeds are sometimes the cause of faith and they are especially effective in fixing the basis of high morals, because people’s behavior manifests itself, first, into ‘practice,’ then into ‘mood’ and then into ‘habit,’ and finally into the form of' ‘a firm characteristic,’ and settles in his spirit or nature as a result of that constant practice.” “Patience and perseverance on the path of obedience to Allah, and the challenge against one’s own desires, and also strengthening the principle of compassionate kindness should not occur in the society only in the form of individual behaviour, but it should appear as a common current in the whole society, and all the members of a society should enjoin observing and preserving this principle on each other in order to make their social relationship, in this way, closer and stronger.” (From An Enlightening Commentary on the Light of the Holy Qur’an, Vol. 20 @
