(Ayah 26) {قُلْ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا رَبُّنَا ثُمَّ يَفْتَحُ بَيْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّ … :} Abdur Rahman Kilani (may Allah have mercy on him) writes: "And if you people think that the concept of the Hereafter and accountability is itself wrong, then be certain that the Allah who brought all of us into existence from non-existence also has the power to gather us all together again after bringing us back to life after death. Today you consider yourselves to be correct and we consider ourselves to be correct, but on that day Allah Almighty will judge between us with such justice that you too will understand it clearly, and His decision will be correct in that regard because He is the Creator of all of us, and the understanding that a creator can have of his own creation cannot be possessed by others. He is even aware of your and our intentions and motives, therefore there can be no possibility of any mistake or excess in His decision."

Say, "Allah will gather us all together, then He will judge between us with truth [41]. And He is the Judge, the All-Knowing."

[41] And if you think that the concept of the Hereafter and accountability is itself wrong, then be certain that the same Allah who brought all of us from non-existence into existence is surely capable of bringing us all back to life after death and gathering us together. Today, you consider yourselves to be correct and we consider ourselves to be correct. But on that day, Allah will judge between us with such justice that you too will fully understand it. And His judgment will be correct in that He is the Creator of all of us. The Creator has an understanding of His creation that no one else can have. He is aware even of our and your intentions and motives. Therefore, there can be no possibility of any mistake or injustice in His decision.
