Surah waqiah Ayat 9 meaning in urdu

اور بائیں بازو والے، تو بائیں بازو والوں (کی بد نصیبی کا) کا کیا ٹھکانا

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(56:9) And the People on the Left: *6 and how miserable will be the People on the Left!

And the companions of the left - what are the companions of meaning

*6) The word mash 'amah in ashab al-mash'amah, in the original, is from shu'm which means misfortune, ill-luck and bad omen; in Arabic the left hand also is called shuma. The Arabs regarded shimal (the left hand) and shu'm (bad omen) as synonyms, the left hand being a symbol of weakness and indignity. If a bird flew left on the commencement of a journey, they would take it as a bad omen; if they made a person sit on their left, it meant they regarded him as a weak man. Therefore, ashab al-mash'amah implies ill-omened people, or those who would suffer disgrace and ignominy, and would be made to stand on the left side in the Court of Allah.
