What is meant by the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Every soul is held responsible for what it has earned, except the owners of the right hand” (38)?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Another message from your sister Umm Hasan, who is also inquiring about a noble verse in the saying of Allah the Exalted: The questioner says: What is meant by "the people of the right hand" in the verse? And why are they to be sent back with their sins?

Answer:
Yes, meaning detained. So every soul is detained by its deeds, and nothing saves it except righteous deeds, except for the owners of the right hand, who are the people of faith. Opposing them are the owners of the left hand, who are the people of the Fire, may Allah protect us from that. This is mentioned at the beginning of Surat al-Waqi'ah, where people are divided into three categories: the near ones, the owners of the right hand, and the owners of the left hand. It mentions the reward for each of these three groups. This is in the beginning of Surat al-Waqi'ah.
