The phrase "Account for yourselves before you are called to account, and weigh your deeds before they are weighed" is repeated by the mosque preacher every Friday.

Yes, this is from the words of the Commander of the Faithful, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), on the pulpit when he delivered a sermon. He said: "O people,
Account for yourselves before you are accounted for, weigh your deeds before they are weighed, and prepare for the greatest presentation, the day you are presented.حاسبوا أنفسكم قبل أن تحاسبوا وزنوها قبل أن توزنوا وتأهبوا للعرض الأكبر يوم تعرضون
