Praise be to Allaah.
The Qur’aan and Sunnah indicate that the people will take
their books, which contain the record of their deeds, on the Day of
Resurrection. Some will take their books in their right hands and some
will take their books in their left hands from behind their backs.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right
hand will say: ‘Here! read my Record!
20. ‘Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my Account!’
21. So he shall be in a life, well‑pleasing.
22. In a lofty Paradise,
23. The fruits in bunches whereof will be low and near at
hand.
24. Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent on
before you in days past!
25. 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!
27. ‘Would that it had been my end (death)!
28. ‘My wealth has not availed me;
29. ‘My power (and arguments to defend myself) have gone
from me!’
30. (It will be said): ‘Seize him and fetter him;
31. Then throw him in the blazing Fire.
32. ‘Then fasten him with a chain whereof the length is
seventy cubits!’
33. Verily, he used not to believe in Allaah, the Most
Great”
[al-Haaqqah 69:19-33]
“Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right
hand,
8. He surely, will receive an easy reckoning,
9. And will return to his family in joy!
10. But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,
11. He will invoke (for his) destruction,
12. And he shall enter a blazing Fire, and made to taste
its burning.
13. Verily, he was among his people in joy!
14. Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to
Us)!”
[al-Inshiqaaq 84:7-14]
These verses indicate
that the believer who is destined for Paradise will take his book in his
right hand, and that the kaafir who is doomed to Hell will take his book in
his left hand, from behind his back.
The evidence that those who take their books in their left
hands are the kaafirs is the verses in which Allaah says:
“Verily, he used not to believe in Allaah, the Most Great”
[al-Haaqqah 69:33]
“Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to
Us)!”
[al-Inshiqaaq 84:14]
i.e., he thought that he would never return to Allaah.
This is also indicated by the verse in which Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“But those who disbelieved in Our Ayaat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), they are those on the
Left Hand (the dwellers of Hell)”
[al-Balad 90:19]
Al-Qurtubi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his
Tafseer (20/65): i.e., those who will take their books in their left
hands. End quote.
This is a clear statement
that taking the book in the left hand is something that is limited to the
kuffaar.
Undoubtedly the obedient believer who will be saved from
punishment, will take his book in his right hand. This is indicated by the
context of the verses. The simple reckoning will be merely showing his deeds
without discussing them. If a person’s deeds are discussed he will be
punished or doomed to Hell, as is narrated from the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him). Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2172; Muslim,
2876.
This is also indicated by the report narrated by al-Bukhaari
(2441), Muslim (2768) and Ibn Maajah (183) from Safwaan ibn Muhriz
al-Maazini who said: Whilst I was walking with Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be
pleased with him), holding his hand, a man came up to him and said: “What
did you hear the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) say about al-najwa (the secret conversation that Allaah
will have with His slaves on the Day of Resurrection)?” He said: “I heard
the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
say: ‘Allaah will draw the believer close to Him and He will screen him,
then He will say: “Do you admit such and such a sin? Do you admit such and
such a sin?” And he will say: “Yes, O Lord.” Then when he has admitted his
sins, and thinks that he is doomed, (Allaah) will say: “I concealed them for
you in the world, and I forgive you for them today.” Then he will be given
the book of his good deeds [Ibn Maajah adds: In his right hand]. As for the
kaafirs and the hypocrites, they will be called before all people. Those are
the ones who told lies about Allaah.’”
As for the sinners among those who believed in Tawheed, who
will enter Hell and then be brought forth from it, there is a difference of
scholarly opinion concerning them. Some scholars say that they will take
their books in their right hands and some say that they will take their
books in their left hands.
Al-Safaareeni (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The kaafir
will be given his book in his left hand from behind his back, and the sinful
believer will be given his book in his left hand from in front of him, and
the obedient believer will be given his book in his right hand from in front
of him. Al-Maawirdi was certain that what is well known is that the (Muslim)
evildoer who dies without having repented from his evildoing will take his
book in his right hand, then he narrated an opinion which suggests that we
should not discuss this matter and said: No one says that he will take it in
his left hand.
Yoosuf ibn ‘Umar narrated that the Maalikis differed
concerning sinners among those who believe in Tawheed. It was said that they
will take their books in their right hands, and it was said that they will
take them in their left hands.
With regard to the view
that they will take their books in their right hands, it was said that they
will take them before they enter the Fire, and that will be a sign that they
will not abide therein forever. And it was said that they will take them
after they are brought out of the Fire. And Allaah knows best. End quote.
From Lawaami’ al-Anwaar al-Bahiyyah, 2/183
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was
asked: With regard to a believer who sins, will he take his book in his
right hand or in his left hand? He replied: He will take it in his right
hand. End quote.
From al-As’ilah al-Mulhaqah bi Sharh al-Safaareeniyyah,
p. 500.
It seems – and Allaah
knows best – that no one will take his book in his left hand except the
kaafir, as is apparent from the verses quoted above.
What the Muslim should do is to strive hard to do acts of
obedience and worship, and to do good deeds, so that he will be among those
who are given their books in their right hands. May Allaah make us among
them.
And Allaah knows best.
Following note from Muslim Quran online Blog
The first lesson to be learned by all Muslims is the importance of the Reading Quran Online. All Muslim should learn holy Quran online is the Book of Allah All mighty. Every word which the quran reciter recites or he read quran is the word of Allah it is mentioned in Quran in Arabic that it is the guidance which has come from Allah.
