According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the 'People of the Right' (أَصْحَاب الْيَمِين - Ashab al-Yamin) are the blessed group of righteous believers who achieve salvation on the Day of Judgment. As explained by commentators like Al-Tabari, their name signifies honor and good fortune, primarily because they will be given the record of their deeds in their right hand—a definitive sign of success. Ibn Kathir elaborates, based on Surah Al-Waqi'ah, that they are a distinct group from 'The Foremost' (As-Sabiqun), holding a rank of honor as the general body of the saved. Their reward, detailed across Surah Al-Waqi'ah and Surah Ar-Rahman, is depicted as multiple tiers of lush gardens with thornless trees, flowing springs, abundant fruit, and pure companions, symbolizing a state of ultimate peace, security, and divine pleasure. This comprehensive portrayal establishes the People of the Right as a central Quranic concept representing the hopeful destiny for believers who remain steadfast in faith and good works.
