How do we reconcile the religious texts that indicate that whoever is discussed during the reckoning will be punished, and that the believer will only witness the presentation of the reckoning, with the Quranic verses that affirm that a person will see all of their deeds, even if they are the weight of an atom of good or evil, and will be held accountable for the most minute details?

The torment and bliss of the grave are affirmed for the soul, and this may extend to the body. There is no reckoning in the grave; rather, the reckoning will be on the Day of Judgment. All people will be held accountable, except for those whom Allah admits into Paradise without reckoning or punishment. Every blessing will be questioned on the Day of Judgment. There are two types of reckoning: a reckoning of presentation for the believer, in which their deeds are presented to show Allah's favor upon them, and a reckoning of discussion for disbelievers and disobedient monotheists.
