In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

Allaah [The Most High] said:

إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نُحۡىِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَنَڪۡتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُواْ وَءَاثَـٰرَهُمۡۚ وَكُلَّ شَىۡءٍ أَحۡصَيۡنَـٰهُ فِىٓ إِمَامٍ۬ مُّبِينٍ۬

Verily, We give life to the dead, and We record that which they send before (them), and their traces, and all things We have recorded with numbers (as a record) in a Clear Book. [Soorah Yaaseen Aayah 12]

[Verily, We give life to the dead, and We record that which they send before (them)]- Meaning: their good and evil deeds.  [And their traces]-Meaning: the evil and good deeds they left behind [in this worldly life after their departure from this worldly life], which are then followed by others [are also recorded]. [1] Those deeds that came into effect because of their statements, deeds and state of affairs. [2]
