Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is the Scale on the Day of Resurrection a real scale or a conceptual one? And are deeds weighed on this scale?
Answer:
Those who say it is a conceptual scale are the Mu'tazilah. As for the people of the Sunnah and the community, they say it is a real scale. It has two pans; deeds are placed in it—good deeds are placed in one pan and bad deeds in the other.[Al-Mu'minun 23:102]. [Al-Mu'minun 23:103]. They will abide in Hell forever. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is the Scale on the Day of Resurrection a real scale or a conceptual one? And are deeds weighed on this scale?
Answer:
Those who say it is a conceptual scale are the Mu'tazilah. As for the people of the Sunnah and the community, they say it is a real scale. It has two pans; deeds are placed in it—good deeds are placed in one pan and bad deeds in the other.
And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful.
فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَBut those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls
وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ
