Transliteration:( Laqad kunta fee ghaf latim min haazaa fakashafnaa 'anka ghitaaa'aka fabasarukal yawma hadeed )
"And every soul shall come out being driven along with a witness [36] (angel)."
This verse refers to the moment when every soul will be brought forth for accountability. Each person will be driven by one angel (witness), who will urge them forward.
For the infidels, the angel will drive them like a shepherd urges the flock, leading them to the field of accountability. Along with the angel, the person’s own limbs or other angels will testify against them, witnessing their actions and sins.
The angels will carry the infidels with utter disgust to face the consequences of their deeds.
In contrast, for the believers, the experience will be much different. They will be brought to the field of accountability in a manner similar to a groom being led to his wedding procession, with joy and honor. As stated in Surah 19, Verse 85, Allah refers to the pious (believers) as being brought towards Him as guests, emphasizing their honor and mercy on the Day of Judgment.
