And a very little from the latters.
The Lord of the universe has taught through His Messenger that there are seventy thousand people as forerunners from the first man, Aadam, until the Last Day. It is told in this verse that most of the forerunners are from the former people and only some from the latter people. Only two forerunners are from the people of Messenger Muhammad: one is ‘Ukkasha’, one of the companions of Messenger Muhammad who lived at the time of the Messenger, and the other is the Three-Time Knower mentioned in verse 25: 59, who is the Author of Adhikr—the Best Interpretation of the Lord’s Book. The other forerunners included in this group are from the community of Messenger Muhammad, such as the Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Christians, etc., who are leading a life here without having sex and are remembering and glorifying the Lord with their soul as explained in verse 2: 62.
After 30 years since the departure of Messenger Muhammad, there hasn't been formed a group of believers anywhere in the world witnessing the life of Adhikr—the Witness and the Guide. So the people belonging to the Messenger’s community, such as Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Christians, etc., if they are doing good deeds believing in the single Lord and the Day of Judgment, they have their reward with their Lord, and there shall not be fear upon them, and they won't be grieved as told in verses 2: 62 and 5: 69. Allah has subjected Messenger Muhammad to suffer half of the death pain of the people belonging to the Messenger’s community. The scene of Messenger Muhammad becoming anxious in the Hereafter about his community saying "My community! My community!" is explained in verse 70: 4. At the same time, the scene of Messenger Muhammad witnessing in the Hereafter against the Fujjar who have fled from the Book for repeated reading—Adhikr—is warned through verse 25: 30, and saintly people witnessing in the Hereafter against the Fujjar who have forgotten Adhikr is warned through verses 25: 17-18.
