Simple Explanation
Allah begins Surah At-Takwir with scenes of the universe being overturned: the sun folded away, stars falling, mountains moving, seas blazing, records opened, Hell set ablaze, and Paradise brought near.
Even the most valuable worldly things will be forgotten, and even buried injustices will be brought forward. The girl buried alive will be asked for what sin she was killed, exposing the cruelty of those who wronged her.
The main point comes in Ayah 14: every soul will know what it brought. The Day of Judgment will uncover deeds, intentions, crimes, and sacrifices with perfect clarity.
