39. 1. Here, the wisdom and reason for the occurrence of the Day of Judgment is being explained: on that day, Allah will decide regarding those matters in which people used to differ in the world, and He will grant a good reward to the people of truth and piety, and will punish the disbelievers and sinners for their evil deeds. Also, on that day, it will become clear to the disbelievers as well that they were lying in the oaths they used to swear regarding the non-occurrence of the Day of Judgment.
