You've given your account in front of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Now you will go to
that place which will seal your destination, the
Midan, the scale.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said
that on that day there was a the
scale is the truth. There is no doubt
that that scale will be established.
He whose scale is heavy
then that person will be the successful one.
And those whose scales were light, they are
those who threw themselves into ruins because they
did dulam and they oppressed our signs when
our signs came to them. This scale
will be so precise
that a person who does good or evil,
the equivalent
of a zara.
A zara is the smallest speck that you
can have. That speck
when the rays of the sun are out
and that * which flies
in the dust is known as a Zara.
If you place
a Zara on this scale
it will weigh
it. Aisha radiAllahu Anha would often
give a date to the path of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and people would laugh and
they'd say Ayesha,
you giving a date in the path of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala? She would say there
are many miskala dharwahs in this one date.
This scale will be so precise
that there will be a man whose actions
will be totally and utterly equal. The scale
will not tilt this way and not tilt
that way, and he will need one deed
to go into Jannah.
So he will think who possibly will give
him that one deed and he will go
to his wife, and he will say to
his wife, pleading. So what kind of husband
was I? She will say, you are a
brilliant husband.
You are a great husband. Then he will
say, today I need just one deed to
go into Jannah. She will say to him,
ask me for anything other than this and
I will grant it to you, but don't
ask me for a deed. Then he will
think, who else can he go to? And
he will go to his son
and he will find his son and he
will say to his son, oh my son
what kind of father was I?
The son will say, dad you're a great
father,
you always looked after me,
You provided for me. You cared for me.
Now he knows that if he asks him
for one deed, he's not gonna give it
because he just tried it with his wife.
So what will he say to his son?
He will say to his son, oh my
son give me a mithqaala
zara.
My scales are totally equal I need one
spank
and I can go into Jannah. His son
will say, oh my father
ask me for anything
This is how family relationship will be on
the day of judgment.
On that day a man will run from
his brother, from his brother his father, from
his spouse, from his child.
Imagine this,
this is the scene that Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala
draws at the beginning of the day of
judgment. Have you ever thought about the sequence
when a man,
before he's married, before he gets a job,
he's always with his
siblings,
But when he gets married, when he gets
a job, when he becomes busy, then the
first casualty of his busyness is his siblings.
Then Allah says parents.
Why? Because when a person gets married then
the second casualty
of his busyness is his parents. Before marriage,
parents were everything. Then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
mentions the spouse.
Why? Because you spend a lot of time
with your spouses.
You go holiday with spouses. You live in
the same house. Right at the end Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says his child. Why? Because
any half decent individual,
even if he doesn't get on with his
wife, he cares about his child. Now let
me take you
to the end of the day of judgment.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala now draws
another scene when this transgressor knows that he's
going into the fire of Jahannam, then Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala depicts his state.
He will say to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
That on that day now this person
will see Jahanam in front of him. He
will know it's a reality. He will say,
oh Allah
place my
child
in my place in Jahannam. Imagine
he starts with his child,
then he says spouse,
then he says his brother. Have you seen
that was started
with the brother, then the parents, then the
spouse, then the child? Now out of desperation
he would say, Allah, on my place place
my child.
Then he would say, place my spouse. Then
he would say, place my
sibling.
Now
the entire turtib of the first verse
has been turned upon his head. But there's
something missing. He didn't mention his parents. Even
a disbeliever on the date of judgment who
knows that he's gonna dwell in Jahannam
will not have the guts to say to
Allah Oh Allah, place my parents
on my place in Jahannam because on that
day he will see the status of a
parent. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam would make
a dua
regarding
the scale on the day of jajman. He
will say,
Oh Allah, I will place my side on
my bed.
Allah, forgive my sins.
Oh Allah repel the shaitan, my shaitan from
me.
Oh Allah remove my debt.
Oh Allah
make my scales heavy.
And place me in the highest ranks in
the hereafter.
