يَوْمَ نَدْعُو كُلَّ أُنَاسٍ بِإِمَامِهِمْ ۖ فَمَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ يَقْرَءُونَ كِتَابَهُمْ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلًا
17:71We shall call all people along with their leadersنَدْعُو كُلَّ أُنَاسٍ بِإِمَامِهِمْ indicates that the righteous will follow righteous leaders and the wicked will follow their wicked leaders. According to Râzî the expression Imâm (leader) in this context has an abstract connotation, good or bad, which governs a persons behaviour and provides motives for his actions. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) said that actions would be judged according to the conscious intentions that prompted them. The “leaders” therefore can be interpreted as these intentions. In the phrase, فَمَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ; “whoever is given his book in his right hand”, the book is the one mentioned in verse 14; the effect of ones deeds. The right hand is a symbol of blessing, strength and power while the left is that of weakness. Giving of the record of ones deed in ones right hand signifies that it will be a favourable record. The book of deeds is given in the right hand to those who held the Book of Allâh here in this life with strength and resolution, and acted upon it accordingly.
