Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Divine (allah’s) Judgment (hokm) Versus Human Judgment (hokm) Justice Prevails Since Allah (SWT) is the absolute Justice and He has established His kingdom based on absolute Justice, then it is inevitable that the scale of justice should become balanced after it has become unbalanced on earth due to human injustice and deviation. So when will the balance of this scale of justice take place?!

It will become balanced on the Day of Resurrection when the only Judgment will be for Allah (SWT) alone, and injustice which the people committed will be invalidated and people will come to know that Day the real divine judgment in every case, conflict, dispute, argument, and matter. They will discover their injustices and Allah (SWT) will invalidate the injustices they have committed in this world and the oppressors will be punished while the oppressed will receive their confiscated rights.

Hence we can understand Allah’s words in these verses: “And most surely your Lord will judge between them on the resurrection day concerning that about which they differed.” [16:124] “All sovereignty that day is for Allah; He will judge between them.” [22:56] “Then to Me shall be your return, so l will judge between you concerning that in which you differed.” [3:55] “Then wait patiently until Allah judges between us; and He is the best of the Judges.” [7:87] As the abovementioned verses indicate, the final verdict will not belong to anyone except Allah (SWT) alone since He is the Owner of the Day of Judgment and the Day where truth is separated from falsehood.

We present here an example of an event which took place during the prophetic life which clearly confirms this fact. After the conclusion of the Battle of Al Ahzab (The Allies), the Muslims encircled the Jews of Bani Quraydha as a punishment to their deception and betrayal of the pact with the Muslims and their alliance with the polytheists against the Muslims. When the duration of encirclement became long, the Jews decided to surrender so they requested for a judgment to be made on them.

The Prophet (SA) asked them who they would like to judge them, so they chose Sa’d ibn Mu’adh, the Chief of Al-Aws tribe since he was their ally long ago at the Time of Ignorance. Sa'd has been severely injured in the Battle of Al-Khandaq (Al Ahzab) and he became ill afterwards.
