yawma taʾtī kullu nafsin tujādilu ʿan nafsihā wa-tuwaffā kullu nafsin mā ʿamilat wa-hum lā yuẓlamūna
The day [will come] when every soul will come pleading for itself and every soul will be recompensed fully for what it has done, and they will not be wronged.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah An-Nahl – Verse 111
111. “The day (that) everyone will come disputing in his own behalf; and everyone will be rewarded in full (for) what he has done, and they will not be dealt with unjustly.”
The resurrection scene is so dangerous that the culprit and the sinful utter something at every moment. Sometimes, he says: “Swearing to Allah, we were not pagans.” At other times, he says: “It was they who misled us.” Sometimes he says: “If you were not there, we would be believers.” Ultimately, this noble verse expresses as a general warning, implying: Remember the day when every one is thinking only about himself and stands up only to defend himself so that he can relieve himself from the painful punishment.
The verse says:
“The day (that) everyone will come disputing in his own behalf…”
However, this struggle of theirs is entirely useless as the consequences of every body’s action will be made available to him and they will not be oppressed. The verse says:
“…and everyone will be rewarded in full (for) what he has done, and they will not be dealt with unjustly.”
