(Ayah 39,38) {وُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ …:} This radiance and happiness of the faces will be after the record of deeds is given in the right hand, as He said: « فَاَمَّا مَنْ اُوْتِيَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيْنِهٖ (7) فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَّسِيْرًا (8) وَّ يَنْقَلِبُ اِلٰۤى اَهْلِهٖ مَسْرُوْرًا » [ الانشقاق : 7 تا۹ ] "So at that time, the one whose record of deeds is given in his right hand, his reckoning will be made easy, and he will return happily to his family."
