We keep everything recorded in an illustrious Imam (leader).’ (36:12) Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, in the words of Luqman, has also said, ‘My son, Allah keeps the records of all the good and evil deeds, even if they are as small as a grain of mustard seed, hidden in a rock or in the heavens or the earth.
