Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, Allah the Exalted said at the end of Surat al-Mu'minun:[Al-Mu'minun 23:112], referring to the verse of al-'Adeed. What is meant by al-'Adeed in the image? It means the reckoning, those who calculate. I mean by al-'Adeed, "So ask al-'Adeed." They said, "We stayed for a day or part of a day. So ask al-'Adeed," meaning the reckoning, those who know the Book.
Answer:
This is because when Allah resurrects them on the Day of Resurrection, they will think that they stayed only for an evening or the morning of a day, or part of a day, because the past has folded up and gone, and they have forgotten what passed, what Allah willed to pass by them.

This is because when Allah resurrects them on the Day of Resurrection, they will think that they stayed only for an evening or the morning of a day, or part of a day, because the past has folded up and gone, and they have forgotten what passed, what Allah willed to pass by them.
