4424 The Day of Judgement is described as "the Day when Witnesses will stand forth". This description implies two things: (1) that there man will be judged justly; his past actions and his faculties and opportunities will be witnesses as to the use he made of them (
24:24); intact he will himself be a witness against himself (
6:130); and the prophets and just men will bear witness to the fact that they preached and warned men (
39:69;
2:133).
