1. Although the sequence of punishment for deeds continues to some extent in this world as well, its complete manifestation will occur in the Hereafter, and Allah Almighty will give every person full reward or punishment according to his good or bad deeds. And only Allah Almighty will be there. Allah Almighty will say on that day: Whose is the kingdom today? Then He Himself will answer: Only for the One Allah, the Dominant. On that day, no being will have any authority for anyone; the entire matter will be in Allah’s hand. This will be the Day of Recompense.
