Here again modern interpreters seek to provide deeper understanding of, or give new meanings to, the modalities of the day of resurrection. Consideration is given to attempts to reconcile the Qur’an with modern scientific findings, to the strongly ethical dimensions of the Qur’anic presentation of judgment and recompense, and to the physical and spiritual dimensions of the rewards of the Garden and the punishments of the Fire. A prominent theme in contemporary interpretation is the relationship between divine justice and human responsibility.
