Will a person be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about their sins before all of creation, and will they face those whom they wronged or slandered to seek their forgiveness, and will Allah's forgiveness and punishment depend on their pardon?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The religious texts confirm the existence of accountability and reckoning before creation on the Day of Resurrection, as stated in the Qur'an and Sunnah. The polytheists will be rebuked and questioned, and records will be unrolled for people, and the servant will be asked about their lifespan, body, knowledge, and wealth.

There will be a reckoning among people concerning injustices, where rights will be restored to their owners, even among animals. Believers will be detained between Paradise and Hell for reckoning, and the wronged will take their right from the wrongdoer through good deeds and sins.

A Muslim is warned about the rights of people; if they are not returned in this world or pardoned, good deeds will be taken from the wrongdoer, or the sins of the wronged will be cast upon them. As for the rights between a servant and their Lord, Allah may conceal them and forgive those who did not publicize their sins, whereas disbelievers and hypocrites will be exposed.
