Sura 39
Aya 69
69
وَأَشرَقَتِ الأَرضُ بِنورِ رَبِّها وَوُضِعَ الكِتابُ وَجِيءَ بِالنَّبِيّينَ وَالشُّهَداءِ وَقُضِيَ بَينَهُم بِالحَقِّ وَهُم لا يُظلَمونَ

Ali Unal

And the earth (altered from what it was) will be bright and clearly visible throughout by the Light of its Lord,1 and the Record (of the deeds of responsible beings endowed with free will) will be laid out, and the Prophets and the Witnesses will be brought forward, and it will be judged among them (conscious, responsible beings) with truth (concerning that on which they used to differ),2 and they will not be wronged.
  • On the Day of Resurrection, the earth is changed into another earth, and the heavens also; they all appear before God, the One, the All-Overwhelming (14: 48). That is, there will be nothing hidden, all truth will come to be known clearly, and everyone will clearly see the consequences of their deeds.
  • The Prophets will come forward to testify that they conveyed God’s Message and explain how their people responded to their call; and some pure and righteous ones (the witnesses) will be brought forward to testify concerning the communication of God’s Message by the Prophets and the people’s reaction to it. (See 4: 41; 7: 6.)
