  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

25. Either they will be seeing the writing of their book of deeds because on that day no one will be illiterate. Everybody's language will be Arabic. Or, they would be seeing their deeds in their form as it has been stated in the Hadith Shareef, and like today, too, future situations are seen in dreams in their form.

26. When the infidels would see animals turned to dust after compensating for another, they would also wish that they were turned into dust and thereby escape punishment.
