18:50
The result of the deeds is related not only to the body and the external world, but also to the soul and the intellect. Therefore, in the book of deeds there will be three kinds of observations of deeds: physical, spiritual and intellectual. Had it not been so, the Glorious Qur'an would not have said: "What kind of a book is this that leaves not a small thing nor a great thing but has counted it'." (18:50).
The records of deeds are basically related to the people of religion and their schools of thought. Therefore, the greatest collective records of deeds will be related to the nations (umam), as the Qur'an says: "Each nation is summoned to its record" (45:28). That is, each great Prophet's luminous existence (nuri wujud), through his successors, comprises the people of the entire cycle. Thus summoning to the record of deeds means that the nation or the people will be summoned to this blessed personality, as God says: "This Our Book (in which all the deeds of all of you are recorded) speaks against you with truth. Lo! We have caused (all) that you did to be recorded" (49:29). By the Speaking Book, Is meant the Light (nur) which in the status of prophethood and imamat has a right to speak. And to speak as a record of deeds, means to witness, for the conditions and deeds of man are spread in the physical, spiritual and intellectual boundaries. Nothing can witness all such conditions and deeds, except the light of guidance, which comprises body, spirit and intellect, which is appointed by God upon the people of his time as the guardian angel (firishtah-i nigaran).
