(17:71) Then think of the Day We shall summon every community with its leader.
Those who are given their Record in their right hand shall read the Record of
their deeds86 and shall not be wronged a whit. (17:72) Whoever lived in this world as blind shall live as blind in the Life
to Come; rather, he will be even farther astray than if he were (just) blind.
86. We learn from the Quran that on the Day of Resurrection, the righteous people will be given their records in their right hands and they will be overjoyed to have a look at it and will show it to others. As regards to the wicked people, they will get their records in their left hands and in their shame will try to hide it behind their backs. Please refer to (Surah Al-Haaqqa, Ayats 19-28), (Surah Al-Inshiqaq, Ayats 7-13).
