Faamma man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi fayaqoolu haomu iqraoo kitabiyah (surah Al-Haqqah: 19)

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(69:19) On that Day, he whose Record is given to him in his right hand *12 will say: 'Lo! Read my Record! *13

Fa ammaa man ootiya kitaabahoo biyameenihee fa yaqoolu haaa`umuq ra`oo kitaabiyah

*12) The record's being given in the right hand will by itself show that the concerned person's account is clear and settled and he is appearing in the Divine Court as a righteous man and not as a culprit. It is probable that at the time the records are distributed the righteous man himself will extend his right hand forward to receive his record. For on account of the good treatment that he would have received right from the moment of death till his appearance in the Plain of Assembly at Resurrection, would have given him the satisfaction that he was there to be blessed and not to be punished. At many a place in the Qur'an it has been explicitly stated that right at death itself it becomes clear to every man whether he is entering the next World in a blessed or wretched state. Then from the moment of death till Resurrection the righteous man is treated like a guest and the evil man as a culprit under custody. After this, froth the time the second life starts on the Day. of Resurrection, the condition and state of the righteous is entirely different from the condition and state of the disbelievers, hypocrites and culprits.

Qaf: 19-23 and the corresponding Notes.
*13) That is, he will be overjoyed as soon as he receives his record and will show it to his companions. In Surah Al-lnshiqaq: 9, it has been said "He will return to his kinsfolk rejoicing."
