For it is the reckoning on the Day, of Judgement that really matters. Punishment dealt upon corrupt individuals and communities in this world does not constitute their true punishment. Punishment in this world is no more than what happens when a criminal, who has been strutting scot-free, is suddenly arrested. The arrest constitutes no more than depriving the criminal of the opportunity to perpetrate further crimes. The annals of history are filled with instances where corrupt nations have been punished, proving that man has not been granted absolute licence to go about doing whatever he pleases. Rather, there is a Power above all that allows man to act freely but only to a certain extent, no more. And when man exceeds those limits, that Power administers a series of warnings in order that he might heed the warnings and give up his wickedness. But when man fails totally to respond to such warnings, he is punished.Anyone who considers the events of history, will conclude that the Lord of the universe must have certainly appointed a Day of Judgement in order to hold the wrong-doers to account for their actions and to punish them. That the Qur'an refers to the recurrent punishment of wicked nations as an argument in support of the establishment of the final judgement in the Hereafter is evidenced by the fact that the present (verse- 6 )- opens with the word so'. - [2] This shows that on the Day of Judgement Prophethood will be the main basis of reckoning. On the one hand, the Prophets will be questioned about the efforts they made to convey God's Message to mankind. On the other hand, the people to whom the Prophets were sent will be questioned about their response to the message. The Qur'an is not explicit about how judgements will be made with regard to individuals and communities who did not receive God's Message. It seems that God has left judgement - to borrow a contemporary judicial expression - reserved. However, with regard to individuals and communities who did receive God's Message through the Prophets, the Qur'an states explicitly, that they will have no justification whatsoever to put forward a defence of their disbelief and denial, of their transgression and disobedience. They are doomed to be east into Hell in utter helplessness and dejection. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab Indeed, We will call to account all those to whom Messengers were sent; they shall have much to answer for, and We will question the Messengers whom We had sent. ### Bijan Moeinian On the Day of Judgment, those to whom I sent My prophets will be questioned [as to whether or not they received the message and how they treated it. ] My prophets, too, will be questioned [as to whether or not they delivered the message and how they were treated.] ### Al-Hilali & Khan Then surely, We shall question those (people) to whom it (the Book) was sent and verily, We shall question the Messengers. ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali Then shall we question those to whom Our message was sent and those by whom We sent it. ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran We will surely question those who received messengers and We will question the messengers ˹themselves˺. ### Taqi Usmani So, We shall ask those to whom the messengers were sent, and We shall ask the messengers (how they conveyed the message). ### Abdul Haleem We shall certainly question those to whom messengers were sent–– and We shall question the messengers themselves–– ### Arthur John Arberry So We shall question those unto whom a Message was sent, and We shall question the Envoys, ### E.
