And when the decree was as the context guided to: that all of them will be resurrected in a state of humiliation, then they will be gathered, then they will be held accountable, and each one will be rewarded for what he has done. If they believe in that, they will be saved; otherwise, they will be punished by the One whose power is established over the greater punishment after the lesser punishment, due to His power over resurrection, due to His power over what you have seen of the creation of camels, the heavens, the mountains, and the earth, in all of the wonders due to His power over everything.
