Ayat: –16-30
45:16

وَ لَقَدۡ اٰتَیۡنَا بَنِیۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِیۡلَ الۡکِتٰبَ وَ الۡحُکۡمَ وَ النُّبُوَّۃَ وَ رَزَقۡنٰہُمۡ مِّنَ الطَّیِّبٰتِ وَ فَضَّلۡنٰہُمۡ عَلَی الۡعٰلَمِیۡنَ ﴿ۚ۱۶﴾

And We did certainly give the Children of Israel the Scripture and judgement and prophethood, and We provided them with good things and preferred them over the worlds.

 

Preference of Allah to the Children of Israel and their dispute thereafter

Allah the Exalted mentions the favors He granted the Children of Israel, such as revealing the Divine Books to them, sending the Messengers to them and granting them kingship.

Allah said,

وَلَقَدْ اتَيْنَا بَنِي إِسْرَايِيلَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحُكْمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ

وَرَزَقْنَاهُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ

And indeed We gave the Children of Israel the Scripture, and the understanding of the Scripture and its laws, and the Prophethood; and provided them with good things,

such as foods and drinks,

وَفَضَّلْنَاهُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ

and preferred them above the nations. (of their time)
45:17

وَ اٰتَیۡنٰہُمۡ بَیِّنٰتٍ مِّنَ الۡاَمۡرِ ۚ فَمَا اخۡتَلَفُوۡۤا اِلَّا مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَہُمُ الۡعِلۡمُ ۙ بَغۡیًۢا بَیۡنَہُمۡ ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّکَ یَقۡضِیۡ بَیۡنَہُمۡ یَوۡمَ الۡقِیٰمَۃِ فِیۡمَا کَانُوۡا فِیۡہِ یَخۡتَلِفُوۡنَ ﴿۱۷﴾

And We gave them clear proofs of the matter [of religion]. And they did not differ except after knowledge had come to them – out of jealous animosity between themselves. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

 

وَاتَيْنَاهُم بَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الاْاَمْرِ

And gave them clear proofs in matters.

i.e. `We gave them evidences, proofs and unequivocal signs.’

فَمَا اخْتَلَفُوا إِلاَّ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءهُمْ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًا بَيْنَهُمْ

And they differed not until after the knowledge came to them, through envy among themselves.

Therefore, the proof has been established against them, yet they differed among themselves after the proof came to them, out of transgression against each other,

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ

Verily, your Lord (`O Muhammad’),

يَقْضِي بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein they used to differ.

He will judge between them by His just judgement.
Warning to this Ummah against following the Ways of the Children of Israel

This Ayah contains a warning to the Muslim Ummah as well. It warns them not to take the path the Jews took nor adopt their ways. This is why Allah said

45:18

ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنٰکَ عَلٰی شَرِیۡعَۃٍ مِّنَ الۡاَمۡرِ فَاتَّبِعۡہَا وَ لَا تَتَّبِعۡ اَہۡوَآءَ الَّذِیۡنَ لَا یَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ﴿۱۸﴾

Then We put you, [O Muhammad], on an ordained way concerning the matter [of religion]; so follow it and do not follow the inclinations of those who do not know.

 

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاكَ عَلَى شَرِيعَةٍ مِّنَ الاَْمْرِ فَاتَّبِعْهَا

Then We have put you on a (legal) way of commandment. So follow you that.

`follow what was revealed to you from your Lord, O Muhammad, there is no true deity except Him, and turn away from the idolators.’

Allah said,

وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاء الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
45:19

اِنَّہُمۡ لَنۡ یُّغۡنُوۡا عَنۡکَ مِنَ اللّٰہِ شَیۡئًا ؕ وَ اِنَّ الظّٰلِمِیۡنَ بَعۡضُہُمۡ اَوۡلِیَآءُ بَعۡضٍ ۚ وَ اللّٰہُ وَلِیُّ الۡمُتَّقِیۡنَ ﴿۱۹﴾

Indeed, they will never avail you against Allah at all. And indeed, the wrongdoers are allies of one another; but Allah is the protector of the righteous.

 

إِنَّهُمْ لَن يُغْنُوا عَنكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَييًا

وإِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضٍ

and follow not the desires of those who know not.

Verily, they can avail you nothing against Allah. Verily, the wrongdoers are protecting friends of one another,

Allah says, `what will the loyalty that the idolators give each other avail them?’ Indeed, all they will earn from their protecting friends is more loss, destruction and demise,

وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الْمُتَّقِينَ

but Allah is the Protector of those who have Taqwa.

and He will deliver them from the darkness to the light. In contrast, all the false deities are the protecting friends of those who disbelieve, taking them out of the light to the darkness.

Allah said

45:20

ہٰذَا بَصَآئِرُ لِلنَّاسِ وَ ہُدًی وَّ رَحۡمَۃٌ لِّقَوۡمٍ یُّوۡقِنُوۡنَ ﴿۲۰﴾

This [Qur’an] is enlightenment for mankind and guidance and mercy for a people who are certain [in faith].

 

هَذَا بَصَايِرُ لِلنَّاسِ

This is a clear insight and evidence for mankind,

in reference to the Qur’an,

وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمِ يُوقِنُونَ

and a guidance and a mercy for people who have faith with certainty.

45:21

اَمۡ حَسِبَ الَّذِیۡنَ اجۡتَرَحُوا السَّیِّاٰتِ اَنۡ نَّجۡعَلَہُمۡ کَالَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ۙ سَوَآءً مَّحۡیَاہُمۡ وَ مَمَاتُہُمۡ ؕ سَآءَ مَا یَحۡکُمُوۡنَ ﴿٪۲۱﴾

Or do those who commit evils think We will make them like those who have believed and done righteous deeds – [make them] equal in their life and their death? Evil is that which they judge.

 

The Life and the Death of the Believers and the Disbelievers are not Equal

Allah the Exalted states here that the believers and the disbelievers are never equal. Allah said in another Ayah,

لَا يَسْتَوِى أَصْحَـبُ النَّارِ وَأَصْحَـبُ الْجَنَّةِ أَصْحَـبُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمُ الْفَأيِزُونَ

Not equal are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise. It is the dwellers of Paradise that will be successful. (59:20)

Allah said here,

أًمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ اجْتَرَحُوا السَّيِّيَاتِ

Or do those who earn evil deeds think,

those who commit and practice evil,

أّن نَّجْعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِينَ امَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ

سَوَاء مَّحْيَاهُم وَمَمَاتُهُمْ

that We shall hold them equal with those who believe and do righteous good deeds, in their life and their death,

i.e. treat them equally in the present life of the world and in the Hereafter

سَاء مَا يَحْكُمُونَ

Worst is the judgement that they make.

`worst is the thought that they have about Us and about Our justice, thinking that We will ever make the pious and the wicked equal in the Hereafter or this life.’

At-Tabarani recorded that Shubah said that Amr bin Murrah narrated that Abu Ad-Duha said that Masruq said that;

Tamim Ad-Dari once stood in voluntary prayer through the night until the morning only reciting this Ayah,

أًمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ اجْتَرَحُوا السَّيِّيَاتِ

أّن نَّجْعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِينَ امَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ

Or do those who earn evil deeds think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe and do righteous good deeds…

Allah said in reply:
سَاء مَا يَحْكُمُونَ
(Worst is the judgement that they make.)

Allah said
45:22

وَ خَلَقَ اللّٰہُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضَ بِالۡحَقِّ وَ لِتُجۡزٰی کُلُّ نَفۡسٍۭ بِمَا کَسَبَتۡ وَ ہُمۡ لَا یُظۡلَمُوۡنَ ﴿۲۲﴾

And Allah created the heavens and earth in truth and so that every soul may be recompensed for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged.

 

وَخَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ

And Allah has created the heavens and the earth with truth,

meaning, in justice,

وَلِتُجْزَى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ

وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

in order that each person may be recompensed what he has earned, and they will not be wronged.

Allah the Exalted said

45:23

اَفَرَءَیۡتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰـہَہٗ ہَوٰىہُ وَ اَضَلَّہُ اللّٰہُ عَلٰی عِلۡمٍ وَّ خَتَمَ عَلٰی سَمۡعِہٖ وَ قَلۡبِہٖ وَ جَعَلَ عَلٰی بَصَرِہٖ غِشٰوَۃً ؕ فَمَنۡ یَّہۡدِیۡہِ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ اللّٰہِ ؕ اَفَلَا تَذَکَّرُوۡنَ ﴿۲۳﴾

Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allah has sent him astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after Allah ? Then will you not be reminded?

 

أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَهَهُ هَوَاهُ

Have you seen him who takes his own lust as his god,

who abides by his lust, and whatever his lust portrays as good he implements it, and whatever his lust portrays as evil, he abandons it!

Allah’s statement,

وَأَضَلَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى عِلْمٍ

And Allah left him astray with knowledge,

has two meanings.

– One of them is that Allah knew that this person deserves to be misguided, so He left him astray.

– The second meaning is that Allah led this person astray after knowledge reached him and the proof was established before him.

The second meaning includes the first meaning, but not the opposite.

Allah said,

وَخَتَمَ عَلَى سَمْعِهِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَجَعَلَ عَلَى بَصَرِهِ

غِشَاوَةً

and sealed his hearing and his heart, and put a cover on his sight.

so he does not hear what benefits him, understands not what would lead him to the guidance and sees not the evidence with which he can be enlightened.

This is why Allah said,

فَمَن يَهْدِيهِ مِن بَعْدِ اللَّهِ أَفَلَ تَذَكَّرُونَ

Who then will guide him after Allah? Will you not then remember?

Allah said in a similar Ayah,

مَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَلَ هَادِيَ لَهُ وَيَذَرُهُمْ فِى طُغْيَـنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

Whomsoever Allah sends astray, none can guide him; and He lets them wander blindly in their transgressions. (7:186)

45:24

وَ قَالُوۡا مَا ہِیَ اِلَّا حَیَاتُنَا الدُّنۡیَا نَمُوۡتُ وَ نَحۡیَا وَ مَا یُہۡلِکُنَاۤ اِلَّا الدَّہۡرُ ۚ وَ مَا لَہُمۡ بِذٰلِکَ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍ ۚ اِنۡ ہُمۡ اِلَّا یَظُنُّوۡنَ ﴿۲۴﴾

And they say, “There is not but our worldly life; we die and live, and nothing destroys us except time.” And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming.

 

The Conviction of the Disbelievers, Their Argument and the Refutation of it

Allah mentions here the creed of Ad-Dahriyyah and the Arab idolators who embraced their creed, denying Resurrection,

وَقَالُوا مَا هِيَ إِلاَّ حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا

And they say:”There is nothing but our life of this world, we die and we live….”

They say that there is only this life, some people die while others are born to life, without Resurrection or Judgement.

This was the creed of Arab idolators who used to deny Resurrection, in addition to, the creed of the atheist philosophers among them who denied the creation and Resurrection.

This was also the statement of atheist philosophers who deny the Creator and think that the world will return to its original form once every thirty–six thousand years, when everything will restart its life–cycle again! They claim that this cycle was repeated for infinity, thus contradicting the sound reason and the divine revelation.

They said,

وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَا إِلاَّ الدَّهْرُ

and nothing destroys us except Ad-Dahr (time).

Allah the Exalted said in reply,

وَمَا لَهُم بِذَلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِنْ هُمْ إِلاَّ يَظُنُّونَ

And they have no knowledge of it, they only presume.

they speculate and guess!

As for the Hadith recorded by the two collectors of the Sahih, and Abu Dawud and An-Nasa’i, from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah said,

يَقُولُ تَعَالَى

يُوْذِينِي ابْنُ ادَمَ يَسُبُّ الدَّهْرَ وَأَنَا الدَّهْرُ بِيَدِيَ الاَْمْرُ أُقَلِّبُ لَيْلَهُ وَنَهَارَه

Allah the Exalted says,

“The Son of `Adam annoys Me when he curses Ad-Dahr (time), while I am Ad-Dahr. In My Hand are all matters; I cause the alternation of his days and nights.”

In another narration;

لَاا تَسُبُّوا الدَّهْرَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى هُوَ الدَّهْر

Do not curse Ad-Dahr (time), for Allah is Ad-Dahr.

Ash-Shafi`i, Abu Ubaydah and several other Imams of Tafsir explained the meaning of the Prophet’s statement,
لَاا تَسُبُّوا الدَّهْرَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى هُوَ الدَّهْر
(Do not abuse Ad-Dahr (time), for Allah is Ad-Dahr.) They said,

“During the time of Jahiliyyah, when an affliction, a calamity or a disaster struck them, the Arabs used to say,

`Woe to Ad-Dahr (time)!’

So they used to blame such incidents on Ad-Dahr, cursing Ad-Dahr in the process. Surely, it is Allah the Exalted and Most Honored Who causes these (and all) things to happen. This is why when they cursed Ad-Dahr, it was as if they were cursing Allah Himself, since truthfully, He causes all incidents to happen. Therefore, abusing Ad-Dahr was prohibited due to this consideration, for it was Allah Whom they meant by abusing Ad-Dahr, which — as we said– they accused of causing (distressful) incidents.”

This is the best explanation for this subject, and it is the desired meaning. Allah knows best.

We should mention that Ibn Hazm and those of the Zahiriyyah like him made an error when they used this Hadith to include Ad-Dahr among Allah’s most beautiful Names.

Allah’s statement
45:25

وَ اِذَا تُتۡلٰی عَلَیۡہِمۡ اٰیٰتُنَا بَیِّنٰتٍ مَّا کَانَ حُجَّتَہُمۡ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ قَالُوا ائۡتُوۡا بِاٰبَآئِنَاۤ اِنۡ کُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِیۡنَ ﴿۲۵﴾

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, their argument is only that they say, “Bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful.”

 

وَإِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ ايَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ

And when Our Clear Ayat are recited to them,

means, when the truth is made plain to them and used as evidence against them, asserting that Allah is able to resurrect the bodies after they have perished and disintegrated,

مَّا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمْ إِلاَّا أَن قَالُوا

ايْتُوا بِأبَايِنَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

their argument is no other than that they say:”Bring back our fathers, if you are truthful!”

`bring them back to life, if what you say is true.’

Allah the Exalted said

45:26

قُلِ اللّٰہُ یُحۡیِیۡکُمۡ ثُمَّ یُمِیۡتُکُمۡ ثُمَّ یَجۡمَعُکُمۡ اِلٰی یَوۡمِ الۡقِیٰمَۃِ لَا رَیۡبَ فِیۡہِ وَ لٰکِنَّ اَکۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ﴿٪۲۶﴾

Say, ” Allah causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt, but most of the people do not know.”

 

قُلِ اللَّهُ يُحْيِيكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ

Say (to them):

“Allah gives you life and then causes you to die…”

`for you are witnesses that He brings you (or new life) to existence after non–existence,’

كَيْفَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَكُنتُمْ أَمْوَتًا فَأَحْيَـكُمْ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْ

How can you disbelieve in Allah? Seeing that you were dead and He gave you life. Then He will give you death, then again will bring you to life. (2:28)

Therefore, He Who is able to initiate creation, is able to restart it, as well and more obviously,

وَهُوَ الَّذِى يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ

And He it is Who originates the creation, then He will repeat it; and this is easier for Him. (30:27)

Allah said next,

ثُمَّ يَجْمَعُكُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا رَيبَ فِيهِ

then He will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt.

`when He resurrects you, it will be on and for the Day of Resurrection, not in this life. Therefore, your statement is groundless,’

ايْتُوا بِأبَايِنَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
(Bring back our (dead) fathers, if you are truthful!) Allah said,

يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُكُمْ لِيَوْمِ الْجَمْعِ

The Day when He will gather you (all) on the Day of Gathering. (64:9),

لاأَيِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ

لِيَوْمِ الْفَصْلِ

For what Day are these signs postponed? For the Day of sorting out. (77:12-13),

and,

وَمَا نُوَخِّرُهُ إِلاَّ لاًّجَلٍ مَّعْدُودٍ

And We delay it only for a term (already) fixed. (11:104)

Allah said here,
ثُمَّ يَجْمَعُكُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا رَيبَ فِيهِ
(then He will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt.) there is no doubt that it will come,

وَلَكِنَّ أَكَثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

But most of mankind know not.

and this is why they deny Resurrection and discount the fact that the bodies will be brought back to life.

Allah the Exalted said,

إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيداً

وَنَرَاهُ قَرِيباً

Verily, they see it afar off. But We see it (quite) near. (70:6),

they discount the possibility that Resurrection will ever come, while the believers believe that its occurrence is easy and imminent
45:27

وَ لِلّٰہِ مُلۡکُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضِ ؕ وَ یَوۡمَ تَقُوۡمُ السَّاعَۃُ یَوۡمَئِذٍ یَّخۡسَرُ الۡمُبۡطِلُوۡنَ ﴿۲۷﴾

And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And the Day the Hour appears – that Day the falsifiers will lose.

 

Some of the Conditions of the Day of Resurrection and its Horrors

Allah says,

وَلَلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرضِ

And to Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth.

Allah mentions that He is the King and Owner of the heavens and earth, and the Only Ruler over them in this life and the Hereafter.

Allah’s statement,

وَيَومَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ

And on the Day that the Hour will be established,

on the Day of Resurrection,

يَوْمَيِذٍ يَخْسَرُ الْمُبْطِلُونَ

on that day the followers of falsehood shall lose.

those who disbelieve in Allah and reject the clear proofs and unequivocal evidences that He has sent down to His Messengers.

Allah said

45:28

وَ تَرٰی کُلَّ اُمَّۃٍ جَاثِیَۃً ۟ کُلُّ اُمَّۃٍ تُدۡعٰۤی اِلٰی کِتٰبِہَا ؕ اَلۡیَوۡمَ تُجۡزَوۡنَ مَا کُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ﴿۲۸﴾

And you will see every nation kneeling [from fear]. Every nation will be called to its record [and told], “Today you will be recompensed for what you used to do.

 

وَتَرَى كُلَّ أُمَّةٍ جَاثِيَةً

And you will see each nation humbled to their knees (Jathiyah),

kneeling, fearful of the tremendous calamity and events.

It was said that this will occur when Hellfire will be brought forth, for she will exhale once, and everyone will fall to their knees, including Ibrahim, the Khalil. He will proclaim, “Myself, myself, myself! Today, I will not ask You (O Allah) but about myself.”

And even `Isa, will proclaim, “Today, I will only argue before You on my own behalf, I will not ask You about Maryam, who gave birth to me.”

Allah said next,

كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ تُدْعَى إِلَى كِتَابِهَا

each nation will be called to its Record.

meaning, Record of deeds.

Allah said in a similar Ayah,

وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَـبُ وَجِـىءَ بِالنَّبِيِّيْنَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ

And the Book will be presented; and the Prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward, (39:69)

This is why Allah said here,

الْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

This Day you shall be recompensed for what you used to do.

`you will be judged according to your deeds, good and evil.’

Allah said in similar Ayat;

يُنَبَّأُ الاِنسَـنُ يَوْمَيِذِ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

بَلِ الاِنسَـنُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ

وَلَوْ أَلْقَى مَعَاذِيرَهُ

On that Day man will be informed of what he sent forward, and what he left behind. Nay! Man will be a witness against himself, though he may put forth his excuses. (75:13-15)

Allah said

45:29

ہٰذَا کِتٰبُنَا یَنۡطِقُ عَلَیۡکُمۡ بِالۡحَقِّ ؕ اِنَّا کُنَّا نَسۡتَنۡسِخُ مَا کُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ﴿۲۹﴾

This, Our record, speaks about you in truth. Indeed, We were having transcribed whatever you used to do.”

 

هَذَا كِتَابُنَا يَنطِقُ عَلَيْكُم بِالْحَقِّ

This, Our Record speaks about you with truth.

It contains the record of all your actions, without addition or deletion.

Allah also said:

وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَـبُ فَتَرَى الْمُجْرِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يوَيْلَتَنَا مَا لِهَـذَا الْكِتَـبِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلاَّ أَحْصَاهَا وَوَجَدُواْ مَا عَمِلُواْ حَاضِرًا وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدًا

And the Book will be presented, and you will see the criminals, fearful of that which is therein. They will say:

“Woe to us! What sort of Book is this that leaves neither a small thing nor a big thing, but has recorded it with numbers!”

And they will find all that they did, placed before them, and your Lord treats no one with injustice. (18:49)

Allah’s statement,

إِنَّا كُنَّا نَسْتَنسِخُ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Verily, We were recording what you used to do.

means, `We ordered Our scribe angels to record your deeds.’

Ibn Abbas and others commented,

“The angels record the deeds of the servants and then ascend to heaven with them. There, they meet the angels entrusted with the Records of deeds sent down from Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz on each Night of Al-Qadr, containing what Allah has written will occur from the servants, long before He created them. They will compare their records and find out that not a single letter was added or deleted.”

He then recited this Ayah,
إِنَّا كُنَّا نَسْتَنسِخُ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
(Verily, We were recording what you used to do.

45:30

فَاَمَّا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَیُدۡخِلُہُمۡ رَبُّہُمۡ فِیۡ رَحۡمَتِہٖ ؕ ذٰلِکَ ہُوَ الۡفَوۡزُ الۡمُبِیۡنُ ﴿۳۰﴾

So as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is what is the clear attainment.

 

Allah states to us His judgement in His creation on the Day of Resurrection,

Allah says,

فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ امَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ

Then, as for those who believed and did good deeds,

Those whose hearts believed and their limbs performed good deeds, in sincerity to Allah and conforming with Islamic legislation;

فَيُدْخِلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ

their Lord will admit them to His mercy.
