Iman and Aqaid 31


Meezan is an Arabic word. It means measuring balance. Those
dead people whose weight of virtues and works of obedience
will be heavier in Day of Judgment, would enter Jannat, the
eternal garden. And whose balance will become heavy with
vices and sins, would go to Jahannam (hell). They would be
dwellers of Jahannam.


We would never commit any sin or crime keeping in mind the
question of measuring the vice and virtues at the field of
Hashar. We will not walk on the footsteps of shaitan.


From studying the Glorious Quran and the Hadith we come to
know that there was a time when this earth and all that are
existing in the vast universe were not in existence. Allah has
created the sky, the earth, the moon, the sun, and the surface of
the earth and all animals including human beings, the trees and
other things by his boundless power. He sent many Prophets and
Messengers for the guidance of man. The Prophets showed
them the right path.


Forgetting Allah when man will become disobedient to Him,
even there will be none to utter His name, on that day Allah
would destroy the whole universe and all that it contains. This is
called Qiamat.


Hazrat Israfeel as, the angel in-charge of blowing the bugle, will
blow on it, by Allah's order. And then instantly the whole
creation: (the whole mankind, animals, beasts, hills and
mountains, buildings, palaces and trees, everything) will feel


Qiamat
