Explaining the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And He judged between them with truth."

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh :

it will be judged between them in truth

وقضي بينهم بالحق

[Az-Zumar 39:69]

That is, with justice, and the One who judges between the servants is Allah (Mighty and Majestic). He, (Glorified and Exalted is He), judges between the servants with justice regarding the rights between the servants, and with grace regarding what is between Him and His servants. Indeed, Allah the Exalted rewards the doer of good with ten times the good deed, up to seven hundred times, up to many times over. And He rewards the wrongdoer either with the equivalent of his wrongdoing or by pardoning him, as Allah the Exalted said:

Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills

إن الله لا يغفر أن يشرك به ويغفر ما دون ذلك لمن يشاء

[An-Nisa 4:48]

So in the rights of the servants, the judgment in the rights of the servants is by what? By justice. It is necessary that the wronged person be taken from the wrongdoer. Now, rest. For this reason, it came in the authentic hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:

Who do you consider to be the bankrupt among you? They said: The one who has no dirham and no goods. He said: The bankrupt is the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds like mountains. He comes having insulted this one, struck this one, and taken the wealth of this one. So this one takes from his good deeds, and this one takes from his good deeds, and this one takes from his good deeds. If any of his good deeds remain, otherwise, their sins are taken and placed upon him, and then he is thrown into the Fire.

من تعدون المفلس فيكم قالوا: من لا درهم عنده ولا متاع قال: المفلس من يأتي يوم القيامة بحسنات أمثال الجبال فيأتي وقد شتم هذا وضرب هذا وأخذ مال هذا فيأخذ هذا من حسناته وهذا من حسناته وهذا من حسناته فإن بقي من حسناته وإلا أخذ من سيئاتهم فطرح عليه ثم طرح في النار

This, by Allah, is the bankrupt. He comes on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds, and they are taken for those he wronged in this world. As for the rights of Allah, He judges between the creation with grace and with justice. If He punishes the wrongdoer, He has been just. And if He bestows upon him pardon and rewards the doer of good, that is only by grace. For this reason, He said:

it will be judged between them in truth

وقضي بينهم بالحق

[Az-Zumar 39:69]

The one who moves between grace and justice.
