The book of deeds (kitab al-a'mal)

Sheikh Omar Abdelkafy describes the book of deeds in the sixth lesson of "Al Fawzu Al Moubeen": the sheets fly about and hang from the necks, and people receive their books from different directions. ¹ The book is read the way an examination result is read, and it leaves nothing small or great unrecorded. ^{2 3}

The Sheikh describes the sheets flying about and hanging from the necks, and says that people take their books from the right, from the left, or from behind the back. ¹

The Sheikh likens the reading of the book to the results of an examination, between the one who passes and the one who fails. He says that the unlettered person reads his book in his own language, and that each person is reckoned according to his deeds (needs_source: the grades and numbers in this illustration are illustrative and have no source). ²

The Sheikh describes the Day of Judgement, when people's records are published one by one, and he appeals to a sense from the Qur'an that the book leaves nothing small or great unrecorded. ³

The Sheikh says that God has counted everything in a record that neither wrongs nor forgets, that people will find what they did in the world present before them, and that God wrongs no one ⁴.

He adds that God makes the person his own reckoner over the pages of his deeds, so that he acknowledges his bad deeds, and he prays that the angel of good deeds will write good for us and that we may spare the angel of bad deeds ⁵.
