As we discussed earlier, there are times when people
do wrong in this world and get away with it. Sometimes, criminals commit
crimes, and no one brings them to account. There are times when wrongdoers
commit their evil deeds in the darkness of night, and no one witnesses their
crime, other than their Creator. As Allah (swt) Himself created the balance of
justice as His law in this world, Allah (swt) will not allow any injustice to happen,
without bringing that person to account. Those matters which are not resolved
in this world, Allah (swt) will deal with them in the hereafter…on the Day of Judgment.
Every one of us was created by Allah (swt), and every one of us will return to Him for
final judgment.
Allah (swt) says in the Quran:
“And We shall set up Balance of justice on the Day of
Resurrection, then none will be dealt with unjustly in anything. And if there
be the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it. And Sufficient are We to take
account.” (Al-Anbiya: 47)
Here, Allah (swt) tells us that He will set up a
balance of justice on the Day of Resurrection. On that day, no one will be
dealt with unjustly. If there is a matter that will be as small as the weight
of a mustard seed, Allah (swt) in His Manifest Wisdom will take account of it.
Allah (swt) will be our Judge.
Allah (swt) has prepared a great reward for those who
lived their lives in righteousness, worshipping Him, and obeying His Commands,
and doing good deeds:
“And whoever does righteous deeds, male or female, and
is a (true) believer, such will enter Paradise, and not the least injustice,
even to the size of a ‘Naqira’ [speck on the back of a date stone], will be
done to them.” (An-Nisa: 124)
On the other hand, those who did wrong in this world
will be punished severely on that day:
“And the Book (one’s Record) will be placed (in the
right hand for a believer in the Oneness of Allah, and in the left hand for a
disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah), and you will see the ‘Mujrimun’ (criminals,
polytheists, sinners), fearful of that which is (recorded) therein. They will
say: “Woe to us! What sort of Book is this that leaves neither a small thing
nor a big thing, but has recorded it with numbers!” And they will find all that
they did placed before them, and your Lord treats no one with injustice.”
(Al-Kahf: 49)
Remember that the greatest injustice in the sight of
Allah (swt) is shirk. There is no forgiveness for those who live their lives
committing shirk and die in that state. For such people, the punishment after
judgment will be very severe.
“Behold, Luqman said to his son by way of instruction:
“O my son! Join not in worship (others) with Allah. For false worship is indeed
the greatest injustice.” (Surah Luqman: 13)
When Allah (swt) is the Judge, who can dare try to get away
with their crimes and evil doings? They will never be able to do that. Truly
Allah (swt) is the Best and Most Wise of all Judges.
“Is not Allah the wisest of Judges?” (Surah At-Tin: 8)
And Allah (swt) knows Best.
We ask Allah to make us amongst those who always stand
firmly on the truth, for justice. We ask Allah to forgive us for our mistakes,
and make us amongst the successful ones, on that day when He (swt) will bring us
all to account, and every soul will be dealt with in complete justice, and
rewarded with only that which they earned with their own hands.
Ameen.
