7. 1. That is, just as We sent every messenger in the language of his people, similarly We have revealed the Qur'an to you in the Arabic language, because your people speak and understand this language.

7. 2. The Day of Resurrection is called the Day of Gathering because on that day all people from the earliest to the latest will be gathered together; moreover, the oppressors and the oppressed, and the believers and the disbelievers, all will be gathered and will receive reward or punishment according to their deeds.
