Abstract

There are two viewpoints with regard to verses 16-19 of
sura
75. The first is the one which considers them as
parenthetical remarks among verses concerning the
resurrection which address the holy prophet in this world
and when the Quranic revelation was sent down. And the
second is the one which treats them as being in the line of
other verses of the
 
sura, which address the infidel man in
the day of resurrection and when the Record of Deeds is
read. Taking a deliberation-centered approach, the present
essay surveys the second viewpoint first and through
consideration of other verses on the Record of Deeds as
well as man’s awareness of his own actions,
 
hadiths
narrated in this connection, and context of
 
sura 75 as well
as other verses on the resurrection, comes to the
conclusion that this perspective is encountering serious
problems. As for the first viewpoint, although it suffers
from some problems, it is more valid and is more
supported by the context of Quranic verses and
 
hadiths.
