Du’a for Wednesday:
“Oh Allah, grant me my book of account in my right hand.” (Ali ibn Abi Talib. Kanz al-’Ummal #26692)
Commentary:
This refers to this verse of the Qur’an: “Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand will say: “Take, read my Record!” (Qur’an, Surah Al-Haqqah 69:19). These will be the believers who would be admitted to Paradise. On the other hand, those destined for Hell will be given their records in their left hands.
Islamic civilization emphasizes the right hand. We eat and drink with our right hand. We wear our clothes and shoes beginning with the right side. We enter the majid with our right foot first. And we pray to get our book of account on the Day of Judgment in our right hand.
