2942 Good and evil deeds will be weighed against each other. If the good deeds prevail, the soul will attain falah, i.e.,
prosperity, well-being, bliss, or salvation; if the contrary, there will be the misery and anguish of Hell. (23.102)
23:103 - But those whose balance is light will be those who have lost their souls; in Hell will they
abide. 2943
2943 The loss or perdition will not mean that they will die and feel no more: xiv. 17. The punishment will mean nothing, if
there was no sensibility, but total annihilation. (23.103)
25:67 - Those who when they spend are not extravagant and not niggardly but hold a just (balance)
between those (extremes); 3127
3127 In ordinary spending this is a wise rule. But even in charity, in which we give of our best, it is not expected that we
should be extravagant, i.e., that we should either do it for show, to impress other people, or do it thoughtlessly, which
would be the case if we "rob Peter to pay Paul". We should certainly not be niggardly, but we should remember
everyone's rights, including our own, and strike a perfectly just balance between them. (25.67)
42:17 - It is Allah Who has sent down the Book in truth and the Balance (by which to weigh
conduct). And what will make thee realize that perhaps the Hour is close at hand? 4550
4550 Revelation is like a balance, an instrument placed by Allah in our hands, by which we can weigh all moral issues, all
questions of right and wrong in conduct. We must do so constantly. For the Judgment in any given case may come at
any time: it may be quite near, and we must always be prepared. The Balance may also refer to the God given faculty
by which man can judge between right and wrong. (42.17)
55: 7 - And the Firmament has He raised high and He has set up the balance (of Justice) 5177
5177
The "balance of justice" in this verse is connected with "the Balance" in the next two verses, that men may act justly
to each other and observe due balance in all their actions, following the golden mean and not transgressing due
bounds in anything. But the Balance is also connected figuratively with the heavens above in three symbols: (1)
Justice is a heavenly virtue: (2) the heavens themselves are sustained by mathematical balance; and (3) the
constellation Libra (the Balance) is entered by the sun at the middle of the zodiacal year. (55.7)
55:8 - In order that ye may not transgress (due) balance.
55:9 - So establish weight with justice and fall not short in the balance. 5178
5178 To be taken both literally and figuratively. A man should be honest and straight in every daily matter, such as weighing
out things which he is selling: and he should be straight, just and honest, in all the highest dealings, not only with other
people, but with himself and in his obedience to Allah's Law. Not many do either the one or the other when they have
an opportunity of deceit. Justice is the central virtue, and the avoidance of both excess and defect in conduct keeps
the human world balanced just as the heavenly world is kept balanced by mathematical order. (55.9)
57:25 - We sent aforetime our apostles with Clear Signs and sent down with them the Book and
the Balance (of Right and Wrong) that men may stand forth in justice; and We sent down Iron
in which is (material for) mighty war as well as many benefits for mankind that Allah may test
who it is that will help unseen Him and His apostles; for Allah is Full of Strength exalted in
Might (and able to enforce His will). 53135314531553165317
5313 Three things are mentioned as gifts of Allah. In concrete terms they are the Book, the Balance, and Iron, which stand
as emblems of three things which hold society together, viz. Revelation, which commands Good and forbids Evil;
Justice, which gives to each person his due; and the strong arm of the Law, which maintains sanctions for evil-doers.
For Balance, see also xlii. 17, and n. 4550. (57.25)
101:6 - Then he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy 6254
6254 The Good Deeds will be weighed and appraised. This appraisement will be of the nicest and justest kind: for it will take
into account motives, temptations, provocations, surrounding conditions, antecedents, subsequent amends, and all
possible connected circumstances. Against them, presumably, will be deeds of the opposite kind, appraised in the
same way. If the good predominates, the judgment will be in the man's favour, and he will be ushered into a life of
good pleasure and satisfaction. This will of course be on another plane. (101.6
101:8 - But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 2306 Narrated by
AbuSa'id al-Khudri
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said that Moses asked his Lord to teach him something with which to make mention
of Him or to supplicate Him, and was told to say, "There is no god but Allah." He replied to his Lord that all His servants said
this, but he wanted something particularly for himself, and He said, "Moses, were the seven heavens and their inhabitants,
