The Shaykh : He said: "
And every person وكل إنسان
A second verse
(13) And [for] every person We have imposed his fate upon his neck, and We will produce for him on the Day of Resurrection a record which he will encounter spread open. (14) [It will be said], "Read your record. Sufficient is yourself against you this Day as accountant." وكل إنسان ألزمناه طائره في عنقه ونخرج له يوم القيامة كتابا يلقاه منشورا * اقرأ كتابك كفى بنفسك اليوم حسيبا
[Al-Isra 17:13-14]
"
. Some of the Salaf said: "By Allah, the one who made you an accountant for yourself has been just with you". On the Day of Resurrection, a book will be brought out for him, spread open, and he will not be required to open it, and it will be said to him:
[It will be said], "Read your record. Sufficient is yourself against you this Day as accountant." اقرأ كتابك كفى بنفسك اليوم عليك حسيبا
[Al-Isra 17:14]
. This is the height of justice and fairness: that he himself will account for himself based on what? Based on what is in his book.
So we believe in the scrolls, and that people will be given their books either in the right hand or in the left.
And reflect on what is in Surat al-Haqqah:
So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record! فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه فيقول هاؤم اقرؤوا كتابيه
[Al-Haqqah 69:19]
He shows it to people, boasting with it and speaking of Allah’s favor upon him.
But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record وأما من أوتي كتابه بشماله فيقول يا ليتني لم أوت كتابيه
[Al-Haqqah 69:25]
He wishes that he had not been given it, and that people had not seen it, or not? People will not see it, because it is disgrace and shame, may Allah protect us from that.
