وَٱلْوَزْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْحَقُّ ۚ فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ
عربی میں فَاء ہے جس کے معنے پس کے ہیں لیکن اردو میں اس کی ضرورت نہیں۔ مضمون فقرہ کی بناوٹ سے معلوم ہوجاتا ہے کہ یہ بات پہلی بات کا نتیجہ ہے۔
21:48; 23:103; 101:9-10.
The language used here is figurative. Material things are weighed in scales made of metal or wood, but the weighing of things which are not material signifies determining their real value, worth or importance.
21:48; 23:103; 101:9-10.
Important Words:
موازینه (whose scales). موازین is the plural of میزان which is derived from وزن. They say وزن الشیء i.e. he weighed the thing, or he determined or estimated the weight of the thing. وزن الشعر means, he composed verses according to the fixed measure. وزن الشیء (with different vowel point at the central root letter) means, the thing became heavy and weighty. وزن which is noun-infinitive means, the act of weighing; or the weight of a thing; or weightiness. وزن الرجل means, he was a person of weighty opinion. میزان means, a weighing instrument; a balance; a pair of scales; the weight of a thing; the measure of a verse (Lane & Aqrab)
Commentary:
The verse does not mean that pairs of scale will actually be set up and human actions and deeds weighed like material things. The language used is figurative. Material things are indeed weighed in scales made of metal or wood, but the weighing of things which are not material means determining their real value or worth or importance.
The verse also throws interesting side-light on the fact that on the Day of Reckoning it is only good works that will carry weight. In the following verse, the Quran makes the point further clear by saying, those whose scales are light, (i.e. those who have no good works to their credit or who have only evil works which carry no weight), it is they who shall have ruined their souls.

وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَظْلِمُونَ
23:104; 101:7-8.
The word Zulm, literally meaning 'to put a thing in the wrong place' (Lane), is here used to signify that the disbelievers did not treat the Signs of God in the manner in which they should have been treated. The Signs were meant to instil fear of God and humility into their minds, but instead they became all the more arrogant and insolent and rejected them with mockery and derision.
23:104; 101:9-10.
Commentary:
The words, whose scales are light, mean, those whose good deeds are few and evil deeds many. The word ظلم (rendered as being unjust to) literally means, to put a thing in the wrong place, and is here used to signify that the disbelievers did not treat the signs of God in the manner in which they should have been treated. They were meant to instil fear of God and humility in the minds of the people; but, on the contrary, disbelievers became all the more arrogant and insolent and received the signs of God with mockery and derision.

ظُلْم (Zulm) 这个单词的字义是 “把一件东西放错了位置” (Lane), 这里用以意指不信的人没有像他们应该那样去对待安拉的迹象。这些迹象原来是想逐渐灌输对安拉的敬畏以及谦恭到他们的心中去的, 可是相反地他们变得越发地傲慢并且以嘲笑的态度来拒绝这些迹象。

وَنَضَعُ ٱلْمَوَٰزِينَ ٱلْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْـًٔا ۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِنَا حَٰسِبِينَ
قرآن مجید میں دو لفظ ہیں اَلْمَوَازِیْن اور اَلْقِسْط چونکہ قِسْط بھی اَلْمَوَازِیْن کا ہم معنی ہے اور ترکیب میں اس کا بدل ہے اس لئے ہم نے دونوں لفظوں کے ایک معنے کر دئے ہیں۔
4:41; 18:50.
The verse makes it clear that Hell is not everlasting. If even the slightest good work done by a man is to be rewarded, then a time must come when punishment should come to an end and the reward of good works should begin. Contrary to the teachings of other religions the Qur’an teaches that it is Heaven and not Hell that is everlasting. See also {1351}.

Important Words:
خردل means, grain of mustard seed. خردل الطعام (khardala) means, he ate the best part of the food. خردل اللحم means, he cut the meat into small pieces (Aqrab).
Commentary:
Besides being a continuation of the subject dealt with in the preceding verses the present verse makes it clear that Hell is not everlasting. If even the slightest good work done by a man is to be rewarded, as the verse says, then a time must come when the punishment of his evil deeds should come to an end and the reward of his good works should begin. Contrary to the teachings of other religions the Quran teaches us that it is the Heaven and not Hell that is everlasting. The Islamic conception of Heaven and Hell is evidently more in keeping with reason and common sense. See also (11:109).

这节经文清楚地表明, 火狱不是永久的。即使人做了极细微的一点善行也必得到果报; 惩罚应予结束而对善行的报答应予开始的时刻, 必然到来。与其他各种宗教的教义相反, «古兰经»教导说, 永恒存在的是天园而不是火狱。

When used in relation to an individual, Mawazin means his works; but when used in relation to a nation it signifies, its material means and resources. According to the present-day terminology of war, 'tonnage' seems to be an appropriate rendering of the word. In the latter sense the verse would mean that a nation, whose material resources are great or whose tonnage of steamships or aeroplanes is heavy, will predominate over its adversaries, and this fact will add to its prestige and power and consequently to its happiness.

重量 (مَوَازِيْن, Mawazin)用来指个人时即意指他的工作; 但是用来指一个国家时是指国家的物质财富和资源。但根据当代的战争术语, 这个词的恰当解释似乎是吨位。这节经文按照后一种意思, 是指一个物质资源大或船舶或飞机的吨位重的国家将统治它的对手, 这个事实将增加它的威望和权力, 从而增加国家的幸福。

有罪的人们和火狱的关系就像婴孩和母亲的关系。正像胚胎在子宫内经过种种发育过程到出生成为发育完全的人一样, 有罪的人们将经过精神折磨的不同阶段到他们的灵魂完全涤除罪恶沾染而得到新生。因此火狱的惩罚目的是使恶人悔过, 自我改造。根据伊斯兰教的概念, 火狱是教养所。
قرآن کریم میں اُمٌّ کا لفظ ہے جس کے معنے ماں کے ہوتے ہیں۔ مگر ہم نے اس کا ترجمہ ٹھکانا کیا ہے۔ اس لئے کہ قرآن کریم نے ماں کو بھی انسان کے ٹھہرنے کی جگہ قرار دیا ہے جیسا کہ وہ فرماتا ہے جَعَلْنٰـہُ نُطْفَۃً فِیْ قَرَارٍ مَّکِیْنٍ (مومنون: ۶) پس ہم نے ٹھکانا کا لفظ استعمال کر دیا ہے۔ ماں کا نہیں جس کو اردو جاننے والے سمجھ نہیں سکتے تھے۔
The connection of the sinful people with Hell will be like that of a baby with its mother. Just as the embryo goes through various stages of development in the womb till it is born in the form of a full-fledged human being, so will the guilty people pass through different stages of spiritual torture, till their souls are completely cleansed of the taint of sin and they receive a new birth. Thus, the punishment of Hell is intended to make the wicked repent of their sins and to reform themselves. According to Islamic concept Hell is a penitentiary.
Commentary:
أم primarily meaning, 'mother' has a variety of secondary significations such as source, origin; support; an abode, etc. (Lane & Aqrab).
