Surah al-Hijr
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسۡـَٔلَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ
“So, by your Lord (O Muhammad), We shall certainly call all of them to account.” [15:92]
This Aayah describes one condition of the people on the Day of Judgement.
In another Aayah, it states:
“But the Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.) will not be questioned of their sins (because Allah knows them well, so they will be punished without account).” [28:78]
And in another Aayah:
“So on that Day no question will be asked of man or jinn as to his sin, (because they have already been known from their faces either white or black).” [55:39]
None of these Aayat contradict each other, rather they explain each other. The state of the people on the Day of Judgement will vary; some will be questioned and held to account whereas others will not.
Surah an-Nahl
إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً۬ لِّقَوۡمٍ۬ يَتَفَڪَّرُونَ
“Verily! In this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for people who give thought.” [16:11]
إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَـٰتٍ۬ لِّقَوۡمٍ۬ يَعۡقِلُونَ
“Surely, in this are proofs for people who understand.” [16:12]
إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَأَيَةً۬ لِّقَوۡمٍ۬ يَذَّڪَّرُونَ
“Verily! In this is a sign for people who remember.” [16:13]
After mentioning the various signs of the Creator in the way He has Created the creation, each Aayah ends with a certain characteristic for those who take heed; “giving thought/ponder”, “understand” and “those who remember.”
This is because pondering leads to having intellect and intellect leads to remembering Allaah, hence the sequence of characteristics mentioned in the Aayat.
