Yunes 46-47
46-WHETHER WE SHOW YOU SOME OF WHAT WE PROMISE THEM OR CAUSE YOU TO DIE, TO US THEY WILL RETURN, AND ALLAH IS A WITNESS OVER WHAT THEY DO.
47- AND EVERY NATION HAS A MESSENGER (SENT), WHEN THEIR MESSENGER COMES, THEY WILL BE JUSTLY JUDGED, AND THEY ARE NEVER UNJUSTLY TREATED.
Allah the Highest is promising to punish the disbelievers for their disbelief. Some of their punishment will be in this life, witnessed by the messenger and the believers, and some in the Hereafter. It is important to show the believers that the disbelievers are being punished, for this strengthens their resolve and reassures them that they are on the right path.
The real and final punishment; is that of the Hereafter.
On the Day of Resurrection, when we are to be judged, every nation will be brought before Allah the Highest, in the presence of their messengers and prophets, as well as the angels who witnessed and wrote their deeds down. Allah the Highest said: “AND THE EARTH WAS ILLUMINATED BY THE LIGHT OF ITS LORD, AND THE BOOK WAS PUT DOWN, AND PROPHETS AND THE WITNESSES WERE BROUGHT, AND THEY WERE JUDGED RIGHTLY, FOR THEY ARE NEVER TREATED UNJUSTLY * AND EVERY SOUL WAS RECOMPENSED IN FULL, AND HE (ALLAH) IS THE BEST TO KNOW WHAT THEY DO”. (S: 39 A: 69-70)
Allah the Highest also said: “AND EVERY SOUL CAME, ACCOMPANIED BY ONE TO LEAD IT AND A WITNESS”. (S: 50 A: 21)
The prophets and messengers, peace upon them, will be witnesses over their nations, for Allah the Highest said: “HOW WILL IT BE WHEN WE PRODUCE A WITNESS FOR EVERY NATION AND WE BRING YOU AS A WITNESS OVER THESE?” (S: 4 A: 41)
We note that Allah the Highest is telling us about what will happen on the Day of Resurrection, which is in the future, but using the past tense. This in Arabic is a way of confirming that what is being narrated will certainly happen, to speak about it as if it happened already.
No one, believer or disbeliever will be able to argue about his/her account, for all is written at the time it happened by the two angels, and Allah the Highest knows all about our intentions.
The nation of Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, is the last of the nations, but on the Day of Judgement, they will be the first nation to be judged. Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, said: “We are the last and the foremost on the Day of Resurrection, the first people to be judged”. (Bukhari & Muslim)
This is a great comfort for the Muslim nation.
