(84:7-12) Kinds of People on Judgment Day There would be three types of people on Judgment Day: The Righteous: It is the group of those who have the highest ranks from the aspect of faith and good deeds; they followed the Shariat to perfection and did not commit anything unlawful. There would be no accounting of such people and they would be sent to Paradise before all.
The Holy Quran says: وَ يَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَفَرَّقُونَ \* فَأَمَّا الَّذينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ فَهُمْ في رَوْضَةٍ يُحْبَرُونَ And at the time when the hour shall come, at that time they shall become separated one from the other. Then as to those who believed and did good, they shall be made happy in a garden.
(30:14-15) And it also says: وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَ اجاً ثَلاَثَةً \* فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ \* وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْئَمَةِ مَآ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْئَمَةِ \* وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ \* أُوْلَئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ And you shall be three sorts. Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand! And the foremost are the foremost.
These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah). (56:7-11) Allamah Tabatabai has written in the interpretation of this verse that: The ‘foremost’ in the verse are those who took precedence over others in performing good deeds and from this aspect they have precedence over others in getting salvation and mercy of the Almighty Allah.[^1] Polytheists, infidels and oppressors: This group also would be shocked in Qiyamat by looking at their scroll of deeds, which would be dark and full of evil, corruptions and harmful habits and would not see any light either in themselves and their scroll of deeds, they would find themselves in complete loss.
Their fate is obvious and there is no need of any accounting. They have no good deed to their credit that there should be a need to account them, since faith is necessary for acceptance of deeds. The Holy Quran says: وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَلِقَآىِ الْآخِرَةِ فَأُوْلَئِكَ فِى الْعَذَابِ مُحْضَرُونَ And as to those who disbelieved and rejected Our communications and the meeting of the hereafter, these shall be brought over to the chastisement.
