Summary
Disbelievers also have their own record of deeds, just like believers, according to the plain meaning of the Quranic texts. The manner of reckoning differs between the two groups. Believers receive their record in the right hand and are reckoned easily, with their good deeds presented to them. Disbelievers receive their record in the left hand from behind and are reckoned with severity and thoroughness as recompense for their disbelief in Allah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Secara kesimpulannya, kami menyatakan bahawa orang kafir juga mempunyai kitab catatan amalannya sendiri sama seperti orang yang beriman sepertimana yang disebutkan oleh zahir nas al-Quran.
