«والسؤال حق»
“Questioning and accountability are real.”
A report concerning a believer describes Allah drawing the person near, concealing certain faults, prompting acknowledgment of sins, and then granting forgiveness by His grace. This is an example of accounting accompanied by concealment and pardon.
It does not imply that every person undergoes an identical interrogation. Easy reckoning, confession, and forgiveness may take different forms. Accountability and mercy are not contradictory.
