And those who believed, and their progeny who followed them with belief, We will add with them their progeny, and We won’t deprive them of any of their deeds; every individual is a pledge for what he has earned.
The Impartial Lord has taught each individual’s soul Adhikr, which distinguishes the single way to Paradise and different ways to Hell from Paradise. Since the believers and their progeny are living here under the Light of Adhikr, the Book they heard, touched, and read will argue and witness in favor of them. After receiving Adhikr, whoever follows the life way of nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand, the verses they heard, touched, and read will argue and witness against them and will push them to Hell as explained in verse 9: 82. ‘Every individual is a pledge for what he has earned’ means Paradise or Hell for the Hereafter is earned by each individual from this worldly life. See explanation 2: 134, 286; 13: 23-24; and 18: 107-108.
