Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Holy Quran Text. Translation & Commentary(the Example Commentary in Brief)(volume Four) The Balances of Justice in the Resurrection Day VERSE NO.46ِ47 These verses reveal the ignorance of the unbelievers, that how do these unaware and haughty people forget their Lord in their merriments and enjoying His abundant bounties, but when the lightest breath of the punishment of your Lord touches them, they become so fearful that they cry out:ِ ``Woe to us!

We were oppressors''. But this emergency wakefulness too will not profit them, and when the punishment is removed, they continue with their evil deeds. Then comes the Final Judgement of God and His SCALES OF JUSTICE in work. Even our smallest action is registered in the record of people which God holds! Everything will be weighted in the scales of justice, [ 178 ] and considered for due recompense. Any one who has done an atom's weight of good or evil deed will see it.

The Arabic, ``MESGHA"LA ZARRAT'' means the weight of a small ant or the weight of a small particle of dust. It is found in six places in Qura"n; and in 2 cases the same meaning has been manifested in the weight of a grain of mustard-seed. All these imply the precision and the perfection of God's judgement, and His accounting. His knowledge is perfect, therefore his justice will be perfect too. When God takes the account of something, or judges a case; His work is excellently perfect.

There is no outburst of rage, or outside influences; to pervert his justice for selfish purposes. God needs not the help of anyone in His judgement because He is All-knowing, All-aware. وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ الْفُرْقَانَ وَضِيَاءً وَذِكْراً لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ(( 48 )) 48- AND WE GAVE MOSES AND AARON THE CRITERION, (OF RIGHT AND WRONG) AND A LIGHT, AND A REMINDER FOR THE PIOUS.

الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ وَهُمْ مِّنَ السَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُونَ(( 49 )) 49- THOSE WHO FEAR THEIR LORD IN PRIVATE, AND FEAR OF THE HOUR. وَهَذَا ذِكْرٌ مُّبَارَكٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ أَفَأَنْتُمْ لَهُ مُنكِرُونَ(( 50 )) 50- AND THIS IS A BLESSED REMINDER THAT WE HAVE SENT IT DOWN. DO YOU THEN DENY IT. [ 179 ] THE COMMENTARY SOME EPISODES IN THE LIFE OF PROPHETS VERSE NO.48ِ50 The next verses in this chapter refer to some episodes in the life of the prophets.
