The Holy Qur'an says...
The Holy Qur'an says: " On the day We muster the pious unto the Beneficent (Allah) (like the guest) of honour." Again, the Arabic word /wafd/ originally is used in the sense of 'a mission' or 'a group' who go to some nobles in order to solve their problems where they will be respected and honoured.
Thus, this word implicitly contains the meaning of 'esteem', and, perhaps, it is for the same reason that some Islamic traditions denote that the pious will ride on some easy-paced mounts and enter into Paradise with much respect. Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said: "Ali (a.s.) asked the commentary of this verse from the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) , and he answered: 'O' Ali! 'Al-wafd' is surely said about those who ride on a mount. These are they who are in awe of Allah, Almighty and Glorious.
He loved them and specialized them for Himself, and was pleased with their deeds and named them 'the pious'." It is cited in Tafsir-i-Ali-ibn-Ebrahim Qummi that Hadrat Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said that Ali (a.s.) asked the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) who they were, (the pious), and he (p.b.u.h.) answered: " O' Ali!
They are your sincere followers, and you are their Imam."(1) Then in the next verse, the Qur'an says: " And We shall drive the sinners unto Hell thirsty." The sinners will be driven toward Hell in the same manner that some thirsty camels are driven unto the drinking place, but, here, there is no water, there is Fire.
It should be noted that the Qur'anic term /wird/ means a 'group of people or animals who enter a drinking place', and since such a group are certainly thirsty, some of the commentators have taken the word, hare, in the sense of 'those parched with thirst'.
How long is the distance between those whom are lead to the Beneficent Allah respectfully and with esteem in a circumstance that the angels come to receive them and greet them, and the group whom are driven unto Hell Fire like some thirsty animals, while they are bend there heads because of shame, disgrace and worthlessness? Some traditions upon Paradise and Hell, and their People: The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said: "Never will enter Paradise, but the one is a Muslim." (Kanz-ul-'Ummal, vol. 1, p.
