Last updated: Apr 8, 2026

highlighted words differ between verses

56:8 · Al-Waaqia · Juz 27

فَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ

the people of the right, how ˹blessed˺ will they be;

56:27 · Al-Waaqia · Juz 27

وَأَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ مَآ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ

And the people of the right—how ˹blessed˺ will they be!

Both use the rhetorical question 'wa ashab al-yamin ma ashab al-yamin' but 56:8 introduces all three groups together while 56:27 begins the dedicated description of the Companions of the Right.
