And Many from the Later

وَثُلَّةࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ۝٤٠

And a multitude of those of later time.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Meaning

And a multitude from the later.

Insight

According to Elmalılı, the people of the right are many from both earlier and later generations; this is great good news for those who come later.

Reflect

Don’t take coming later as an excuse; take it as good news.
