“And then the Record of their deeds shall be placed before them and you will see the guilty full of fear for what it contains, and will say: ‘Woe to us! What a Record is this! It leaves nothing, big or small, but encompasses it.’ They will find their deeds confronting them. Your Lord wrongs no one.”
(Al-Qur’ān – 18:49)
This verse of the Holy Qur’ān presents a glimpse of the Day of Resurrection. When the Book of Record will be placed before those who used to reject the Truth and did not believe in the Day of Judgement, they will find that this Book of Record has left nothing: every big or small of his deeds has found place therein. The two exclamatory utterances of theirs: ‘Woe to us!’ and ‘What a Record is this!’ are enough to present to the world their extreme sense of astonishment and embarrassment. The verse says that they will stand before the Lord all full of fear for what the Book of Record contains.
The entire edifice of Islam is based on the concept of truth and justice. Allah has blessed us with a system of life that is based on truth and justice. Then how can He do wrong with His creatures? That is why the Holy Qur’ān declares that the Lord wrongs no one.
The judgements Allah will deliver in the Day of Judgement, blessing His believers with blissful seats in the Paradise or condemning unbelievers in the Fire of Hell, will all be based on truth and justice and nothing else.
