The Reckoner
Those who conveyed Allah’s Message and had fear [and
awareness] of Him, fearing no one except Allah. Allah suf-
fices as a Reckoner. (Surat al-Ahzab, 33:39)

Allah creates us and forms each one of us in our mother’s womb
with such great care that all of us are unique beings. While we are
unconscious and still gestating, Allah protects and feeds us. Those
nine months spent in the mother’s womb is utterly a dark period, for
no one knows all of the miraculous events that occur during that
time. Only Allah knows these events, for He knows each person
from the moment he or she was a single cell until the moment of his
or her death.
Allah witnesses and remembers each person’s deeds and
thoughts, for He controls both the inner thoughts and the outer
deeds. In brief, He controls everyone’s spirit.
People forget their acts and words, and their experiences be-
come dim memories. For example, something that happened a
decade ago often seems meaningless. It is as if a major part of our
past experiences have been deleted. But on the Day of Judgment,
Allah will cause us to confront all of our good and evil deeds. Thus,
we need to remember that He is with us all the time. Allah informs
us about His name the Reckoner in the following verses:
Then they are turned to Allah, their Master, the Real.
Jurisdiction belongs to Him alone and He is the Swiftest of
Reckoners. (Surat al-An'am, 6:62)
