Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some texts state that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, speaks to the disbelievers on the Day of Resurrection, while other texts state that He does not speak to them. How are these reconciled?
Answer:
He does not speak to them with words of honor; rather, He speaks to them with words of rebuke.[Al-Mu'minun 23:108] This is rebuke and torment, may Allah protect us from it. As for the believers, Allah speaks to them with words of honor and addresses them, saying, "O so-and-so, do you remember such and such?" He says to the people of Paradise, "Such and such." Yes.
