Surah Al-Mu'minun 23:102

The sounding of the Trumpet and the weighing of Deeds in the Scales.

Allah says that when the Trumpet is blown for the Resurrection, and the people rise from their graves,

(there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another.) meaning that lineage will be of no avail on that Day, and a father will not ask about his son or care about him. Allah says:

(And no friend will ask a friend (about his condition), though they shall be made to see one another) 70:10-11. meaning, no relative will ask about another relative, even if he can see him and even if he is carrying a heavy burden. Even if he was the dearest of people to him in this world, he will not care about him or take even the slightest part of his burden from him. Allah says:

(That Day shall a man flee from his brother. And from his mother and his father. And from his wife and his children.) 80:34-36 Ibn Mas`ud said, "On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will gather the first and the last, then a voice will call out, `Whoever is owed something by another, let him come forth and take it.' And a man will rejoice if he is owed something or had been mistreated by his father or child or wife, even if it is little. " This is confirmed in the Book of Allah, where Allah says:

(Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another.) This was recorded by Ibn Abi Hatim.

(Then, those whose Scales are heavy, these! they are the successful.) means, the one whose good deeds outweigh his bad deeds, even by one. This was the view of Ibn `Abbas.

(they are the successful.) means, those who have attained victory and been saved from Hell and admitted to Paradise. Ibn `Abbas said, "These are the ones who have attained what they wanted and been saved from an evil from which there is no escape."

(And those whose Scales are light,) means, their evil deeds outweigh their good deeds.

(they are those who lose themselves,) means, they are doomed and have ended up with the worst deal. Allah says:

(in Hell will they abide. ) meaning, they will stay there forever and will never leave.

(The Fire will burn their faces,) This is like the Ayah:

(and fire will cover their faces) 14:50. and:

(If only those who disbelieved knew (the time) when they will not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces, nor from their backs) 21:39.

(and therein they will grin, with displaced lips.) `Ali bin Abi Talhah narrated from Ibn `Abbas, "Frowning."

Ayat ini menerangkan bahwa orang-orang yang berat timbangan amal kebaikannya yaitu orang-orang yang beriman dan banyak beramal saleh di dunia, adalah orang-orang yang beruntung dan berbahagia. Pada hari Kiamat nanti, seseorang sebelum ditetapkan nasibnya, apakah ia dimasukkan ke dalam surga atau ke dalam neraka, lebih dahulu ia akan diajukan ke pengadilan yang akan memberi keputusan yang seadil-adilnya. Tidak akan terjadi kecurangan dalam proses pengadilan itu karena yang menjadi hakimnya ialah Allah sendiri. Berbeda halnya dengan pengadilan di dunia ini, orang yang bersalah adakalanya diputuskan tidak bersalah, karena pintarnya bersilat lidah, memutarbalikkan keadaan atau karena kelicikan pembelanya, sehingga hakim menjadi terkecoh. Begitu pula sebaliknya, orang yang tidak bersalah ada kemungkinan diputuskan bersalah karena tidak mampu membayar pembela yang pintar dan sebagainya. Setiap keputusan di dunia yang tidak adil akan dimentahkan kembali dan akan diputuskan sekali lagi di akhirat dengan seadil-adilnya. Segala sangkut paut yang belum selesai di dunia ini akan diselesaikan nanti di akhirat dengan seadil-adilnya. Setelah melalui proses pengadilan dan sangkut paut masing-masing telah diselesaikan maka untuk mengetahui kadar kebaikan dan kejahatan masing-masing diadakan timbangan, sebagaimana dijelaskan di dalam firman Allah:

Dan Kami akan memasang timbangan yang tepat pada hari Kiamat, maka tidak seorang pun dirugikan walau sedikit. (al- Anbiya'/21: 47)

Barangsiapa yang berat timbangan amal kebaikannya, berbahagialah ia. Sejalan dengan ayat 102 ini firman Allah:

Maka adapun orang yang berat timbangan (kebaikan)nya, maka dia berada dalam kehidupan yang memuaskan (senang). (al-Qari'ah/101: 6-7)
