10 Preface وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتYusuf AliWhen the Scrolls are laid open;1(9) The Scrolls recording the deeds of men, good or bad, will then be laid open before all. Cf. 50:17-18, n. to 50:18; also 82:11-12. In the present phenomenal world, things may be concealed; but in the spiritual world of absolute Reality, every secret is opened out, good or bad. The whole tale of acts, omissions, motives, imponderable spiritual hurt, neglect, or help will be laid bare.
