Al-Mujaadila (The Pleading Woman)

6. On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all together and inform them of what they did. Allah has kept account of it, while they have forgotten it. And Allah is Witness over all things.

Depicting the torment in store for them in the Hereafter, the blessed Verse in question says that on the Day of Resurrection God Almighty shall resurrect and inform them of what they have done. God Almighty has kept account of their deeds even if they have consigned them to oblivion.

Consequently, when they see their record of deeds, they will cry:

“Woe to us! What kind of Book is this that leaves neither a small thing nor a big thing, but has kept account of them all”1 .

It will be an excruciating torment when God Almighty reminds them of their forgotten sins hereby they shall be disgraced before all men on the Day of Resurrection.

The blessed Verse in question closes by saying:

“God Almighty is Witness over all things [and is Omnipresent].”

The closing clause substantiates the previous one by saying that Divine Omnipresence requires that He keeps account of not only our deeds but also of our intentions and He will disclose them all on the Day of Emergence (yawm al-buruz) such that those who committed the deeds and others know the reason behind severe chastisements and torments.
