Transliteration:( Rabbanaaa innaka jaami 'un-naasi li Yawmin laa raiba feeh; innal laaha laa yukhliful mee'aad )
"O our Lord! Surely, You are the assembler of all [16] people on the Day in which there is no doubt. Surely, Allah does not break [17] His promise."
From the word "assembler" (جَامِعُ النَّاسِ), we learn that on the Day of Judgement, Allah will gather all human beings — from the first to the last — at a single moment.
Key points:
All people will be assembled simultaneously for accountability.
All will speak one language — it is reported that this will be Arabic, and everyone will give account for their deeds in that tongue.
Although other creations will also be present (like jinn, angels, animals), the verse specifically mentions humans, because they are the main subject of accountability here.
Hence, there is no contradiction between this Qur’anic verse and the Hadith of the Holy Prophet ﷺ, as both support the same truth with different emphases.
This verse affirms that Allah does not break His promise — ever.
From this, we learn that:
Breach of promise is absolutely impossible for Allah.
To attribute a lie to Allah (God forbid) is to deny His divinity, and it is equivalent to blasphemy.
Those who claim or even imagine that Allah can go against His promise are actually denying His perfection, and such a belief is completely false and dangerous.
The verse closes with a powerful reminder that Allah's word is absolute truth, and He is always faithful to His promise.
