Al-Kahf 49: The Book will be placed before them, and you will see the wrongdoers fearful of what is written in it. They will say, “Woe to us! What kind of Book is this that leaves nothing, small or large, unrecorded?” They will find everything they have done laid before them. Your Lord does not wrong anyone.

Translation

The Book will be placed before them, and you will see the wrongdoers fearful of what is written in it. They will say, “Woe to us! What kind of Book is this that leaves nothing, small or large, unrecorded?” They will find everything they have done laid before them. Your Lord does not wrong anyone.

Tafsir

On that Day of Reckoning, people will be shown their books in which their good deeds and sins will be written down. Those who do not believe in Allah and the Hereafter will be frightened when they see their books laid out and see their crimes written therein. Then when they realize that they will be punished, they will say, "Woe to us! People try to fit Allah (swt) into their own minds. They cannot comprehend that Allah (swt) is omnipotent and is aware of everything, from the mote to the sphere. Therefore, in the Hereafter, out of fear, they will say, "What a Book this is, He has written everything down and left nothing missing. So all that they had done came back to haunt them.

By saying that Allah is your Lord, Allah emphasizes that He is the Lord of the worlds, since all these worlds were created from the light of the Prophet (PBUH) and human beings were created from the spirit of the Prophet (PBUH). Allah does not intend cruelty to His creatures. But people wrong their own souls.

What is said in the video

Verse 49 of Surah Al-Kahf: The book has been laid out; you see the guilty fearful of what is written in it. Woe to us, they say, what kind of book is this, leaving out nothing small or great, it has counted out all that we did. Thus they have found what they did before them. Your Lord wrongs no one, He says. How beautifully He says it. Here, in a verse where there is no Sirat Bridge. Your Lord wrongs no one. Why does He wrong no one? What about them crossing the Sirat Bridge? What about them falling down? What about them passing over hell? What about them being struck with chains? Good grief, what made-up words.

What things they made up to suit their minds. Look, your Lord wrongs no one. Why? What does He say in the other two verses? We have gathered them all at the place of assembly, He says. Yes. Estaghfirullah, there is no (?). He will take them and bring them to the place of assembly. On that day of reckoning, the records in which the good deeds and sins people committed are written have been laid out. When those who do not believe in Allah and the hereafter see their records laid out, when they see that the crimes they committed in the world are written there, they are seen to be afraid. Then, when they understand that they will be punished, they say: Woe to us. Man tries to fit Allah Almighty into his own mind.

That Allah Almighty is all-powerful and aware of everything, from the atom to the globe, they cannot grasp. Therefore, in the hereafter, out of fear, they say: what kind of book is this, it has written everything down, it has left nothing out. Thus all that they did has suddenly appeared before them. So by saying "Allah, your Lord": since all these worlds were from the light of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and people too, indirectly, from the light of the Prophet (peace be upon him) were created, by saying "Allah, your Lord" He emphasizes that He is the Lord of the worlds. Allah does not intend wrong for His creatures; rather, people wrong their own selves.

To the Prophet too, by saying "your Lord", by saying "I sent you as a mercy to the worlds", by saying "your Lord", He gives it the meaning "your Lord of the worlds". Yes.
