85:2 Al-Yaum al-Mau‘ûdالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ - The Promised Day. The Promised Day has been interpreted in various ways. According to some it is the day of victory of Muslims at Badr, others interpret it as the day when Pharaoh, the people of Thamûd and the Fellows of the Trench were destroyed (cf.; verse 4 and 17-18). For the Shî‘a school of thought it is the Day of Ashura and still for others, it is the day of gathering, which is Friday. For the Gnostics “The Promised Day” is the Day of Resurrection as supported by the next verse where we read “Shâhid wa Mashhûdوَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ. It is the Day when the righteous will enjoy the bliss of meeting with their Lord. Not all these interpretations can be challenged. When we read the verses 7, 10-12), it appears that the Promised Day is the Day of the Triumph of the righteous.
