What a book this is! It omits nothing, big or small, without enumerating it!”

There will not remain a single moment, a single word, a single footstep or anything that he did which he will not remember, as if he had done it that very hour. And this is why they will say, “Woe to us! What a book this is! It omits nothing, big or small, without enumerating it.”

[Qur’ an 8410-13]
