Sura 69
Aya 19
19
فَأَمّا مَن أوتِيَ كِتابَهُ بِيَمينِهِ فَيَقولُ هاؤُمُ اقرَءوا كِتابِيَه

Muhammad Asad

Now as for him whose record shall be placed in his right hand,1 he will exclaim: "Come you all!" Read this my record!
  • I.e., ",whose record shows that he was righteous in his life on earth: cf. 17:71, as well as the symbolic expression "those on the right hand" in 74:39. The linguistic origin of the symbolism of "right" and "left" as "righteous" and "unrighteous" is explained in note 3 on 56:8-9.
