The Spirit of Islam

Weigh Your Words and Deeds actions of others, nor can anyone be of help in any way to others. In the world of God, everyone will be rewarded according to what he has done for himself. As he sows, so shall he reap. No one’s efforts or deeds shall be of any benefit to others. WEIGH YOUR WORDS AND DEEDS In this world it is imperative that human beings weigh their words and deeds in the balance of justice. They should not be unjust either in giving or in taking. C hapter 55 of the Quran states: “The Merciful who taught the Quran – He created man and He taught him speech. The sun and the moon move according to a fixed reckoning; the stars and the trees bend in prostration. He raised the heavens and set up the measure, so that you should not transgress the measure. Always measure with justice and do not give short measure.” (55: 1-9) Creating human beings and sending them guidance are both expressions of God’s attributes of mercy.
