The image of those who lie to themselves

Allah, all praise and glory is to Him, gives us another image. It is the
image of liars, who used to lie in the life of this world. They will try to lie
to Allah in the Hereafter. Certainly, none can lie to Allah because
unquestionably He is, of all things, encompassing. He knows what we
conceal and what we reveal. And what our souls whisper to us.
On this Day it is impossible that man lie to Allah. Man can lie to himself
or to people if he is used to tell lies. Because people know certain things
yet others are kept hidden from them, so they can be deceived by lies.
But as to Allah, all praise and glory is to Him, He is the All-Knower of
everything. No one can lie to Him, Blessed and Exalted is He. Please read
the Saying of Allah, The Exalted and Ever-Majestic, which means:
Then there will be no [excuse upon] examination except they will say,
"By Allah, our Lord, we were not those who associated1." See how they
will lie about themselves. And lost from them will be what they used to
invent.[6. Al-An‘âm, 6: 23-24]
Those who joined others in worship with Allah, who were habitual liars,
think that on the Day of Resurrection they can deceive Allah, all praise
and glory is to Him. That they can lie to Allah. So, they will swear by
Allah that they did not worship others along with Him, thinking that this
falsehood will deliver them from torment.
But Allah, all praise and glory is to Him, will bring to them their book of
deeds that will testify against them. He will also make their legs, hands
and tongues testify against them.
All this shall take place in a language they understand. On the Day of
Resurrection all barriers of the Unseen are lifted and people will
understand all languages. The languages people talked by in worldly life
and the language of the various creatures in the universe, which people
did not understand anything from, all this will be intelligible to them by
the Power of Almighty Allah. They will understand every word because on
this Day everything will be unveiled.
