According to the consensus of classical Islamic scholarship, the 'Record of Deeds' (Kitāb al-A'māl) is a fundamental concept in Islamic eschatology, representing a divine and meticulous account of every individual's actions, intentions, and words throughout their lifetime. As explained in the tafsir of Ibn Kathir on verses like Quran 18:49, this record is so precise that it leaves "nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it." Al-Tabari confirms the linguistic and theological certainty of this concept, linking it to divine justice. The synthesis of the Quranic verses on this topic, including 17:13 and 54:53, reveals a book that is not merely a list but an inescapable proof 'fastened to every man's neck,' which will be laid open on the Day of Judgment. This serves as the ultimate evidence for a person's reckoning, where, as stated in the Quran, one's own self is sufficient as a reckoner against themself. This belief underscores the principles of personal responsibility and the perfect, unwavering justice of Allah.
