Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Resurrection (Ma’ad) in the Quran Scale Of Deeds According to verse of Quran and traditions of the Infallibles, it can be concluded that in Qiyamat, a scale would be established in order to weigh the good and bad deeds of people. Weighing of deeds is an Islamic principle and it is a part of accounting.

(21:47) Balance (Mizan) is an instrument of fixing the quantity of goods and commodities. This instrument has been common in different nations and communities in various forms, although mostly it is constructed from tangible materials and bodies are weighed through it, but it is not restricted only to material affairs; on the contrary in reality it is used in other matters as well.

The science of logic used to discriminate between right and wrong judgment, is also called as the ‘science of balance’. In the exposition of the quantum of consciousness, memory, sciences, information, people use the written and oral experiments and name them as ‘balance of exposing the reality’, and other matters of this type. Therefore the implication of ‘balance’ does necessarily have to be something material.

Since the balance of Qiyamat is also same, because it is a medium to identify faith and principles of belief, good and bad morals, righteous and evils deeds, it cannot be a worldly and a physical matter. Can prayer, fasting, sincerity, piety, faith, truthfulness, trustworthiness be weighed on a worldly balance?

A person asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as): “Would the deeds of people not be weighed in Qiyamat?” He replied: “No, since deeds have no body; that which would be weighed in the balance would be its quality (effect). One who wants to find the weight or quantity of something needs a balance.
