69 Preface وَأَشرَقَتِ الأَرضُ بِنورِ رَبِّها وَوُضِعَ الكِتابُ وَجِيءَ بِالنَّبِيّينَ وَالشُّهَداءِ وَقُضِيَ بَينَهُم بِالحَقِّ وَهُم لا يُظلَمونَYusuf AliAnd the Earth will shine with the Glory of its Lord:1 the Record (of Deeds) will be placed (open); the prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward and a just decision2 pronounced between them; and they will not be wronged (in the least).It will be a new Earth. All traces of injustice or inequality, darkness or evil, will have gone. There will be the one universal Light, the Glory of God, which will now illuminate all. Falsehood, pretence, and illusion will have disappeared. Everything will be seen in its true light.It is in such a scene of Reality that Judgment will be held. Before the Throne of God, the book of each man’s deeds and motives will be placed wide open, which all may see; the Prophets and Preachers of Truth and the martyrs who gave their lives or made their real sacrifices in the cause of Truth, will be in the Court, to give evidence; and the decision pronounced will be absolutely just, for the Judge will not only be just, but He will know every fact and circumstance, and His wisdom will give due weight to everything, great or small.
