All of them will be brought before Us.

Every nation, past and future, gathered

The gathering
past nations
nations to come
you

Allahdeeds repaid in full
Who is excused

all presentno one missing

Ibn Kathir says all past nations and those yet to come will be gathered and brought to account before Allah, and repaid for their good and evil deeds. He links it to the verse that your Lord will repay their works in full.

At a packed stadium you feel like one face in sixty thousand. On that Day, you will not be lost in the crowd. Every good thing you did will be found too.

I am just one of billions. Nobody will notice my small deeds.

Every single person will stand before Allah, and every deed will be counted.

Try this

Do one deed today you would be glad to see on that Day.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir (shared passage from 36:30)

Alas for mankind! There never came a Messenger to them but they used to mock at him (30)Do they not see how many of the generations We have destroyed before them? Verily, they will not return to them (31)And surely, all – everyone of them will be brought before Us (32)

Woe to the Disbelievers!

Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn 'Abbas commented on the Ayah:

يَا حَسْرَةً عَلَى الْعِبَادِ ۚ 

(Alas for mankind!), this means, woe to mankind! Qatadah said:

يَا حَسْرَةً عَلَى الْعِبَادِ ۚ 

(Alas for mankind!) means, "Alas for mankind, who have neglected the command of Allah."

The meaning is that they will feel regret and sorrow on the Day of Resurrection. When they see the punishment with their own eyes; they will regret how they disbelieved the Messengers of Allah and went against the commands of Allah, for they used to disbelieve in them in this world.

 مَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ 

(There never came a Messenger to them but they used to mock at him.) means, they disbelieved him and made fun of him, and rejected the message of truth with which he had been sent.

The Refutation of the Belief in the Transmigration of Souls

Then Allah says:

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ

(Do they not see how many of the generations We have destroyed before them Verily, they will not return to them.) meaning, 'do you not learn a lesson from those whom Allah destroyed before you of those who disbelieved in the Messengers? They came to this world only once, and will not return to it.' It is not as many of those ignorant and immoral people claim that

إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا

("There is nothing but our life of this world! We die and we live!")(23:37). This was the belief in the cycle of reincarnation; in their ignorance they believed that they would come back to this world as they had been before. But Allah refuted their false belief and said:

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ 

(Do they not see how many of the generations We have destroyed before them? Verily, they will not return to them.) Allah's saying:

وَإِنْ كُلٌّ لَمَّا جَمِيعٌ لَدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ 

(And surely, all – everyone of them will be brought before Us.) means, all of the past nations and those that are yet to come, will be gathered and brought to account before Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, on the Day of Judgement, and they will be requitted according to their good and evil deeds. This is like the Ayah:

وَإِنَّ كُلًّا لَمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ أَعْمَالَهُمْ ۚ

(And verily, to each of them your Lord will repay their works in full.)(11:111).
