Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Mr. Lai Rahman Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi as Ryan was salam with St. Monica feelin Kathy Ramadan, so the Hanukkah and mana Illa Allah in like Antara Lima Hakeem, I'll be sorry, Saudi were silly. Only one of them recently have called Cody and my bad. So I want to continue where we left off from last week we're talking about the scale and show today. The scales of the day your judgment, Allah subhanho wa Taala refers to them in the Quran. But before that, I do want to mention that on the Day of Judgment, the justice that will be served by Allah subhanho wa Taala is going to be a fair justice. Allah says in
the Quran, that Allah says Allah subhanaw taala says, well, it was new Yama, even in Huck, the scale on the Day of Judgment is going to be an absolute scale mean that every person that will be judged on the Day of Judgment, there will be no ambiguity, there will be no injustice that will take place. And the reason I say this is because we're so lost it Allahu alayhi wa sallam, he says in the Hadith, that if two people come to me, and they both present their case, but one is eloquent, and the other one is not eloquent, for example, in our case, in this dunya, you appear before a judge and you have a good attorney versus you have a terrible attorney, the good attorney, even though he
may be standing on the side of a guilty man, but the way he may present his case to the jury, and to the judge, this person who was a criminal may be able to walk. And on the flip side, a person who's a terrible attorney, he may be representing an innocent person, but he may not be able to present his case in such a good way that the jury might find this person, a guilty person. And so an innocent person is behind bars. So this is exactly
The reason I say this is because Allah subhanho wa Taala is telling us, in fact, I was talking about the Prophet alayhi salam. He says that if two people come to me and they present their case, and I give the verdict in favor of the wrong person, and this goes to show us, the human side of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that he could not tell what's in their heart, he did not have knowledge of their aim one of eight. The Prophet alayhi salam says that today in this dunya I may have given the verdict in favor of the wrong person. But let this person be mindful of the fact that on the Day of Judgment, this person will not escape the justice of Allah subhanho wa taala. So
on the Day of Judgment, it does not matter how many friends we have in this dunya it does not matter how many supporters we have in this dunya but what comes down to in front of Allah subhanho wa Taala is and Allah subhanho wa Taala knows the Absolute Truth and Allah will judge between us based on what we have done. Now, on the Day of Judgment, what is the very first thing that will be accounted for? What will be the very first person what was the very first thing that each one of us will be held accountable for? There are two different Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. One Hadith that we all are very familiar with is a wonderful man you have several we are either doing a
yarmulke Yama or solid. The very first thing that a person has you will be held accountable for on the Day of Judgment is a sloth and that's something we've heard we know very well. However, there is another Hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, this hadith mentioned in Bukhari and Muslim and Timothy from Abdullah ibn Masada, the Allah Tron, to the very first thing concerning people which will be judged on the Day of Judgment is the people who committed bloodshed, the people who committed bloodshed now the owner might have gone back and forth, that how and people have asked that how do you coincide between these two a hadith because both of these are Hadith mentioned, the
very first thing that is mentioned is two different things. So the owner might have given a very clear answer. And they have said that when it comes to Haku Cola, the rights of Allah subhanaw taala, the very first thing that we'll be held accountable for is our salad. And when it comes to
the rights of other people, the very first people who will be held accountable for on the day of judgement will be those who are who committed bloodshed. Now when we talk about the skills of the Day of Judgment, Allah subhanho wa taala. First of all, he talks. In fact, the Prophet alayhi salam says, How big will these skills be on the day of judgment, He says, I think he's salaam, the balance will be set up on the day of judgment. And even if the heavens and the earth were to be weighed in it, they will fit into the scale. Now think about how big the scale must be, then understand how big the scale can be. That if the profit is some say, that if the earth and the heavens and the earth
can fit onto this, they will be able to fit onto this and the angels will say, Oh Allah, who will be weighed in this Allah subhanho wa Taala will respond by saying, Whoever I will among my coration Why do you say that because there are going to be many people who will escape and they will get away and they will not have to put their Huseynov on that scale and without there has not been weighed, Allah will give them entry into Jannah. Then the angel will say Glory be to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, we do not worship you as you deserve to be worshipped. And so this is how big first of all, the prophet Allah has something you mentioned, how big the scales will be on the Day of Judgment. Now
when a scale is this big, the question is, does it work property? Is it precise? Then Allah subhanho wa Taala he says in the Quran whenever Alma was in distally, Jamelia Mati phala, Tula munificent che and then not only that, Allah subhanaw taala then says how precise are these scales? Were in Cana miss on a hot button, minute Hordaland attained via Walker Fabinho Huseby. And I asked you a simple question. You know, when you go overseas, today, you simply go to Walmart, you buy a bag of vegetables, you put it on that machine, it tells you how much way it is, you punch in the number of probably if you're going through the self checkout line, and it weighs in by yourself and you move
forward. But overseas, you know how this works. They have a scale, they put those weights on one side, they put your vegetables on the other side. Now ask you one thing. Imagine if you just put a pencil on there. Does this show anything? You don't long time ago in American supermarkets, if you remember, they used to have this weighing machine. Everywhere you used to go remember and use that to put your bananas in there and put your vegetables in there to see how much weight it is.
If you put something small in there where they show up, it will not show up. Now think about this. Allah subhanho wa Taala saying first of all, we talked about the practicalities I mentioned how big how big the scales will be. But then look at Allah subhanho wa Taala how precise these these skills will be?
He says, and we should set up the balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection. And none will be dealt with unjustly being that they will be absolutely precise, if anything, and then look at this, the problem was Muhammad says, and even if there is the weight of a mustard seed, imagine if you had that big scale, you put a mustard seed inside, it does even show Allah says the Hisco on the Day of Judgment, first of all, is so big that can fit the heavens of the earth. Not only that, it is precise. And then not only that, but even if you put a mustard seed on that this with this machine will tell even that much that this there's a mustard seed on this on this scale. Subhanallah This is
the scales of Allah subhanho wa taala. Now, the question is, and your honor might have been debated about this, that then what are we talking about? How many skills are there going to be on the day of judgment and so forth? Some Allah might say, there's going to be only one huge massive scale because this is what Allah subhanaw taala says some automat said that know the word in the US in the Quran is Elle Magazine, Elle Magazine, is the plural of is the plural, which means scales mean that there can be many scales on the Day of Judgment, someone. In fact, Hassan Al buslee Rahmatullah Ali, a very, a great scholar of the past, he says, in his opinion, based on the eye of the Quran, when
Allah subhanaw taala says that whose every skill is weighty, or whoever skill is life. So based on that, he said, in his own personal opinion, that he believes on the Day of Judgment, there is going to be a scale for the actions that are committed by the heart, there is going to be a separate scale for the actions that are committed by the body, and there are going to be separate, there's gonna be a separate scale for the actions that are conducted, our there are done by the tongue. Nonetheless, majority of Alma have said that because there is no Hadith to back this up, this is his personal opinion. But we do know that there will be an actual balance on the Day of Judgment. Now, going back
to what I just said, is there going to be an actual bounce on the day of judgment or not? Even the and Asuna? Well, Gema have predominantly said that no, there will be a skill on the Day of Judgment. Now the more tessina is another deviant group, they believe that whenever Allah talks about the skills of the Day of Judgment, it is not an actual skill that we understand. But rather it is a it's a metaphorical concept, as they believe in when they say that how can if you cannot give the the good deeds and the sins a body as a piece of them. If you cannot give them a body, then in that case, how can you wait something and this is their opinion, however, we do know that Ibra Abbas Radi
Allahu anhu, he has made it very clear that on the Day of Judgment, the good deeds and the sins will be actually given some physical form, he mentioned that they will be given some physical form. And not only that, but when we when we talk about the skills of the Day of Judgment, what you and I need to realize is these are not skills were actual things are going to be weighed. What this is in reference to is that when a person comes to Allah subhanaw taala. First of all, all the actions that were done, all the actions that were done, were in there was no class, Allah will get rid of them. First, Allah will say that these are actions that I'm not going to give you any reward for, because
in every single thing there has to be fully flawless. So first of all those since those things are those good deeds are going to be removed from a person's book of deeds, then after that a book of deeds will be then weighed, and some say the book of deeds will be weighed in some other but what the scale will be on the day of judgment for is to weigh the level of the hasard. This is why there are many a hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
For example, there is one Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam were in he says that
cutting Mitanni Habib attorney either Rahman that there are two words that are extremely beloved to Allah subhanho wa Taala huffy for Tanya and Elisa and they are extremely light on the tongue mean that it is very easy to pronounce, it does not take time to go through this dua, or this, this vicar of Allah subhanho wa taala, the field attorney Phil Misa, it is extremely weighty in the skills of Allah subhanho wa Taala he says Subhanallah he will be humbly he Subhan Allah had all the this is the this is a vicar of Allah subhanho wa Taala the province of someone said that these are very weighty in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa Taala this skill brothers and sisters on the Day of
Judgment is not going to count how much we have is going to look at the quality of the good deeds that we performed. And so think about this, a salon that you and I have probably performed, okay, a slot that you and I perform based on the concentration in our slot. That is how we that slot will be on the skills of that
judgment, the skills of Allah on the Day of Judgment, if the salaat is such that there is a lack of concentration, there is we may have done it only for Allah subhana wa Tala sake so Allah will accept that Allah will accept that and he will leave in our book of deeds. But when we take that same slot and we put it on the scales of Allah, then it will not have enough weight because there was a lack in it. When I when you and I when we start when we recite Quran, we may do it for the sake of Allah subhanho wa taala. But how much class is in there? Not only that, but how much how many mistakes do we make? Are we doing it properly or not? All of that will show up on the Day of Judgment. Going
back to what I said earlier about things being heavy in the scales of Allah Subhana Allah Subhanallah there is another something else that we find, which is that even if it was through God, Allah Tada. Now even though the yellow Dawn was as a hobby of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who was extremely skinny, he was short and he was skinny, and some of the Sahaba will make fun of him at times, they will not like in a wrong way. But they would have you know, they would joke around with him and his calves and his legs were very thin, very thin. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he mentions in a hadith that concerning Blyton was ruled that in the
balance, even though he has shortened, he's short, his legs are very thin. He's made he made me very, very light person in weight, but the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam because of this man's of knowledge, because of his connection with the Quran, the Prophet alayhi salam says that in the bounds of Allah subhanho wa taala, this man is more weighty may more weightier than mount or hurt. This is what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said about this man, not only that, but he's also mentioned when a person comes before Allah subhanho wa taala, Allah will make this person acknowledge all the sins that he committed. And as mentioned that in his book of deeds, he's going
to have 99 pages. And once again, I've said this before, 299 is not an idea that there are exactly 99 pages of sins, it means they're going to be many pages in his book of deeds, which are filled with sin and this person will believe that he is doomed he there is no hope for him. And then Allah subhana wa Tada will say that is there any hustler that you bring forward today? And he's thinking to himself that even if I present a hustler, what wait does this hustler have in front of all these pages and pages of sins that I've committed, and then Allah subhanaw taala will say that No, today no person will be will come across or no person will suffer injustice, and whatever has another you
have, you will be it will be brought forth today. And then all of a sudden a piece of paper will be brought and upon that it'd be written that this person believed in Allah subhanho wa Taala La Ilaha illa Allah will be written on this and he will put it and this paper will be put on the scale. On one side you have 99 Say ad or 99 scrolls of say ad and incense, and on one side you have lagging behind Allah and according to the Hadith Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam this man will shout this man was shot out of joy, because he will see that La Ilaha illa Allah is more weightier in the skills of Allah subhanho wa Taala and it will throw these nine nine scrolls away and this person
will be so happy. So this is what is mentioned in the in the it has mentioned. Now the one thing is that as I mentioned earlier, the what will be weighed and there are three different opinions about this. The very first thing is that the DS themselves will be weighed on the Day of Judgment. Okay, as I talked about this, the DS in itself will be weighed on the day of judgment based on the race on with the concentration, the devotion, the class, and so forth. All this week first of all weighed on the Day of Judgment. The second thing that will not only that, but is mentioned and you know there are many Hadith of risotto Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and how do we understand them? We simply
understand that because Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said them. Now how exactly will that will that happen on the Day of Judgment? Only Allah subhanaw taala knows. But for example, there is a Hadith of the Prophet alayhi salam who were in he says, the Quran will come forth on the day of resurrection with his people who used to act in it accord act in accordance with it. And so the so the Bacara so the adding Enron these two laws to suit us will come like two clouds, or two patches of shade with light in between or two flocks of birds spreading their wings defending their companions. So nonetheless, there are many Hadees where in the Prophet alayhi salam, he has
mentioned that on the Day of Judgment, the Quran will come like this, the surah baqarah Sudha Ali Imran will come to this. So what do we do understand is whether they come in the form of clouds, whether they come in the form of a human being, it does not matter, but what we do know is that when a person does a good deed, these good deeds will come and they will benefit a person on the Day of Judgment. The second thing that is mentioned in the hadith of us wa sallahu alayhi wa sallam is that it does not matter. It does not
matter how weighty a person may be in this dunya, it does not matter. Because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he mentioned that a a man who is big will be brought on the day of judgment, but because he did not have any Huseynov, he will be very light on the scales of Allah subhanaw taala. On the flip side, there might be a person who is very light, physically speaking, but because he has done so much, because of this, Allah subhanho wa Taala will make him extremely heavy on the skills of the Day of Judgment. So once again, it does not come down to who we are, it does not come down to our sizes and so forth when it comes down to how much do we do for Allah subhanho wa taala? And how
much are we doing for the archaea. The second thing, the last thing that is mentioned about this is that the the deeds, as as mentioned in other Hadith, that the deeds will be weighed. So what this what this means is that
what this means is that as I mentioned earlier, that the that there are some deeds that are better in nature than some others, like for example, this one I or this vicar to share with you Subhanallah behind the Subhanallah Hill alim. This is this could be better as many will never have mentioned, this is probably better than some other some other Thickers to Allah subhanaw taala this will probably be more heavier than the other as God in front of Allah subhanho wa taala. So that's why it is extremely important that when it comes to our deeds, then we should make sure that we try to do those these that will be extremely heavy in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa Taala some other scholars
they say that is our book of deeds are going to be put actually in the skills and they will be weighed on the day of judgment rather than our than rather just our Huseynov or say add, but nonetheless it said that at this time, whatever the skill will show and not only that, but every single thing will be weighed from this person nothing, even if a person did even if a person said a good word, even that good word will be on that skill of the Day of Judgment and nothing will be left behind because Allah subhanho wa Taala wants thing that he wants to apply on the Day of Judgment is justice. So that means that even if a person did something because a person can say to Allah later
on, if the skills are tilted, not in his favor, as Allah says, Woman from Unfabulous miroir Zeno, then whoever scale is heavy, then they will go into Jana woman, Halford Nawaz in who whoever skill is live mean that the say at outweigh these Hassanal then Allah subhanaw taala wants to make sure that every good is on the scale, because no person can then say to Allah subhanaw taala that Oh Allah, you do not do any justice with me. So having said that, Inshallah, we're gonna stop right here. These are the skills that we were talking about today. And finally, one last thing I do want to mention again, is that Subhanallah you we humbly here, these aren't some of God. Not only that,
but coming down to
as in the state of unbelieving Masuda, the Ultra and once again, this is a this was a man of the Quran, this was a man that honorable Hurtado, the Allah Tala. And once once he went, he came across a caravan that was traveling, and he thought that let me ask them some questions regarding the Quran, and every question and he had all these different trick questions that he had to offer. He asked each question and this caravan, they had an answer to all the questions of ominous thought. And then I'm going to katabi asked one simple question is obliged when was rude in your group or not? Is he traveling with you or not? And they said, Yes, indeed, I believe Miss rude is part of our
caravan. And that is when in the normal Mahatama he realized, he says, if the only way you could have answered these questions, if if a person like absolutely must, is in your caravan, otherwise, no one can answer these kinds of questions I've asked you. So although it was only was a man of the Quran, he was devoted to the Quran. And not only that, but if you study even a pseudo faith in the history of FIP, one of the great scholars during the time of the Prophet sallallahu ala he was someone who knew fit very well was Abdullah implements odo the Allah Tron. So because of his connection with Allah subhanho wa Taala This is why the Prophet alayhi salam says that he will be
more weightier than mount or hurt. You know, if you remember before janazah I always mentioned this. I always mentioned this, that anyone who prays Janaza with the Jamara what does that reward anyone remember?
One
One of the lot, okay, and that is equivalent to mount or HUD. Now, if you think about it, if I if the prophet saw some more to say, one of the rods, what motivation do you and I have to praise Abu Janaza we don't have any motivation. But when the Prophet saw some says that this one the Lord is going to be equivalent to the, to the weight of Mount or hurt. Now that gives all of us motivation. And not only that, but once again, it does not come down to the quantity of the Huseynov on the Day of Judgment, it comes down to the quality of the fastener and the type of fastener that we perform. So that's why every single time when you and I when we come across these ahaadeeth that this
fastener is so heavy in the eyes of
loss of $100 this fastener is weightier than mount or hurt than those are the Hassanal that you and I we need to strive for because those are going to be the ones that will tilt Inshallah, our skills on the Day of Judgment. I ask Allah subhana wa Taala to make our good deeds, more heavier on the Day of Judgment in sha Allah, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make our say at light on the day of judgment, and we ask Allah subhana wa Taala to make us successful in this dunya and akhira in sha Allah, does that come Allah Subhana Allah who will be humbling lesson to Allah in this Delphi Luca model really does acumen located Assalamu alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
you said
