The Meaning of weighing the DeedsAllah said,وَالْوَزْنُ(And the weighing), of deeds on the Day of Resurrection,الْحَقِّ(will be the true (weighing)), for Allah will not wrong anyone. Allah said in other Ayat,وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَزِينَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَـمَةِ فَلاَ تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئاً وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا وَكَفَى بِنَا حَـسِبِينَ(And We shall set up the Balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection, then none will be dealt with unjustly in anything.
