Lesson
Mawaaziina – it is plural
of mawzuun, which has been derived
from the word wazan (weight). Mawzuun means the thing which is
weighed. Mawaaziina
is plural also of the word miizaan,
which means “the scales”.
Yazlimuun – it is from zalama, which means “to seize and hold
without right, to violate one’s right”. Violation of the right regarding the
Verses is that those (verses) are not believed in (denial of the Revelations).
It was
commanded in the previous verse that the people will be questioned on the Day
of Judgment: The Messengers of Allah Almighty (peace be upon Them) had come
unto you. Did you obey Them or otherwise? And the Messengers (peace be upon
Them) will be asked too by Allah Almighty: Did you convey Our Message to the
people? Then exactly True Reality of good and bad acts and deeds of the people will
be manifested before everybody.
It is
commanded that the weight will be estimated entirely and correctly. He/she will
be successful and will get deliverance, whose good deeds will be weighty than other
side of a pair of the scales, whereas whose good deeds will be light, they will
face failure and calamity, because they did not act in the world in accord with
Our (God’s) Guidance.
The aim of causing
to understand from this verse is that nobody can estimate the value of one’s
those activities and deeds, whichever are done by any individual in the world,
whereas everyone should examine every work of own before performing or
committing it according to those Principles, which have been described in the verses
of Holy Qur’aan, and which have been
cleared by the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon Him) significantly.
Nevertheless, that
person who does not examine own activities according to the prescribed standard
mentioned in these verses, but performs or commits good or bad deeds as one
desires, he/she should know that an account of entire activities will be taken,
and those will be weighed in accordance with the principles of these verses.
In the world, aforementioned
prescribed standard is hidden in these verses. You would have observed and
examined before performing or committing any deed on its touchstone, but you
did not try. On the Day of Judgment, these all verses, which are sources of
testing the deeds, touchstones, standard and measuring instruments, will appear
in the form of a pair of scales. And every individual will see clearly the
weight of own acts and its value.
These pair of
scales, touchstones and measuring instruments etc. are the sources for knowing
the cost and value of anything in the world, so the Commands of Holy Qur’aan will appear on the Day of
Resurrection in a perceived form, which have been named as Miizaan (A Balance, A pair of Scales), so that we may understand it
easily. This Miizaan is actually the
Commands, Principles, Rules and Regulations of the Holy Qur’aan, with which, we had to examine our deeds and works during
our stay in the world. These will be formed there in such significant and
feeling shapes, by which, none will remain doubtful a little bit to know the
value and cost of one’s acts and deeds.
