Allah the Exalted said: "As for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will be judged with an easy reckoning," and He said in another verse:

The questioner : May Allah reward you. He says: Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Inshiqaq 84:7-8] and He said in another verse: [Ghafir 40:40] How do we reconcile between these two verses?
The Shaykh : Repeat, repeat the two verses.
The questioner : His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Inshiqaq 84:7-8] and His saying, the Exalted: [Ghafir 40:40]?
The Shaykh : Yes, what is the point of contradiction?
The questioner : The reckoning.
The Shaykh : Yes, the easy reckoning is not considered a reckoning because the person is not questioned in it; rather, his deeds are presented to him until he acknowledges them. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:Sahih Ibn Hibban 64:265 Because Allah is alone with His believing servant, He places His covering over him and says: You did such and such, and you did such and such, and you did such and such, until he acknowledges it. Then Allah, the Exalted, says: Sahih Ibn Hibban 64:265 And how many are the sins concealed from the servants of Allah, but they are known to Allah. We ask Allah to forgive us and you. This is the reconciliation. As for the one whose reckoning is questioned, he is destroyed, as that came in the hadith of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her).
(7) Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand, (8) He will be judged with an easy account
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيراًWhoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.
من عمل سيئة فلا يجزئ إلا مثلها ومن عمل صالحاً من ذكر أو أنثى وهو مؤمن فأولئك يدخلون الجنة يرزقون فيها بغير حسابThe Shaykh : Repeat, repeat the two verses.
