When people have been brought to account for their deeds, each person will be given the book that contains the record of all his deeds. The believer will be given his book in his right hand, as a sign of honour. He will be the one who is saved and happy on the Day of Resurrection. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand,
He surely, will receive an easy reckoning,
And will return to his family in joy!”
[al-Inshiqaaq 84:7-9]
“Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand will say: ‘Here! read my Record!
Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my Account!’
So he shall be in a life, well-pleasing.
In a lofty paradise,
In a lofty paradise,
The fruits in bunches whereof will be low and near at hand.
Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent on before you in days past!”
[al-Haaqqah 69:19-24]
But the kaafirs, hypocrites and followers of misguidance will be given their books in their left hands, from behind their backs. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,
He will invoke (for his) destruction,
And he shall enter a blazing Fire”
[al-Inshiqaaq 84:10-12]
“But as for him who will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: ‘I wish that I had not been given my Record!
And that I had never known how my Account is!
Would that it had been my end (death)!
My wealth has not availed me;
My power (and arguments to defend myself) have gone from me!’
(It will be said): ‘Seize him and fetter him;
Then throw him in the blazing Fire.
Then fasten him with a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits!’”
[al-Haaqqah 69:25-32]
When the people have been given their books, it will be said to them:
“This Our Record speaks about you with truth. Verily, We were recording what you used to do (i.e. Our angels used to record your deeds)”
[al-Jaathiyah 45:29]
“Read your book. You yourself are sufficient as a reckoner against you this Day”
[al-Isra’ 17:14]
