When Only Truth Will Carry Weight

WHEN ONLY TRUTH WILL CARRY WEIGHT In this world, even falsehood can appear weighty to certain people. But in the Hereafter, nothing will carry weight except for the truth. The time will come to pass when the whole of creation will be gathered before the Lord. All voices will be silenced except for the voice of God. Only the truth will have any weight on that day. Nothing else will be of any consequence. On that day man will be judged. Referring to this Day, the Quran states: “The Clatterer! What is the Clatterer? Would that you knew what the Clatterer is! [It is] a Day when humanity shall be like scattered moths and the mountains like tufts of carded wool. Then, the one whose good deeds weigh heavy on the scales will have a most satisfying life. But as for him whose deeds are light on the scales, the Abyss shall be his home. What will convey to you what this is like? It is a blazing fire.” (101:1-11) The turmoil of Doomsday will smash everything. People will completely lose their bearings. After that, a new world will exist where only truth will carry weight. All falsity will be set at nought. In the present world, the approval of the people prevails. Here things carry weight according to the likes and dislikes of the people. The world of the Hereafter is the world of God, where everything will be subservient to His will.
