Reflection — Ibn Kathir
The Happiness of the Person Who will receive His Book in His Right Hand and His Good Situation
Allah informs of the happiness of those who receive their Book in the right hand on the Day of Judgement and being pleased with this. Out of his extreme pleasure is his saying to everyone that he meets,
هَآؤُمُ اقْرَؤُاْ كِتَـبيَهْ
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
هَاؤُمُ اقْرَءُوا كِتَابِيَهْ (Come here, read my book… 69:19). The word ha'umu, literally means, "come" but, idiomatically, it is used in the sense of the plural imperative verb khudhu "take'. In other words, one who is given his record book in his right hand, he will be elated and, looking at the people around him, will say 'Here, take my account book and read it!'
