The Day of Judgement #22 The Scales

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 spick 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.

the hereafter.

the hereafter.
