Al-Hijr (The Rock)

92. “So, by your Lord, We shall surely question them all (in the Hereafter),”

93. “As to what they used to do.”

Following their state of unbelief as to the Qur’an and their dividing it, the Qur’an implies that they shall see the punishment for this evil act of theirs and will be questioned about it.

O’ Mohammad (S) by your Lord We shall question them about it and We mean by interrogating them warning and blaming of them, that is, to convey to them this message as to why they committed sin. What proofs have they got to offer for having committed sins? They will then be target of all scandals.

The Qur’an says:

“So, by your Lord, We shall surely question them all (in the Hereafter),”

In this verse, Allah swears to Himself, presenting Himself as the Lord of Muhammad so as to prove his splendid position to the people.

Then it continues saying:

“As to what they used to do.”

Incidentally, the subject in question in this verse is: We ask them what they worshipped and what answer they would have to offer the prophets! They will have no answer!

And in general, the fact that attention is focused on interrogation and auditing of accounts in resurrection day and the fact that everybody is going to be asked questions regarding everything is itself one of the factors in the awakening process.
