الآية رقم (281) - وَاتَّقُواْ يَوْمًا تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى اللّهِ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لاَ يُظْلَمُونَ

(281) - (And fear a Day when you will be returned to Allah. Then every soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they will not be treated unjustly.)

Allah (swt) reminds usurers, believers, along with the charitable people and the good-doers -the latter is more elevated than the former because they waive off loans when the borrower is insolvent. So, the Almighty reminds everyone that they must fear the doomsday and the incidents of that day -the Day of Reckoning. Therefore, fear that day, have a barrier of more good deeds between you and the Day of Reckoning:

{ وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَازِينَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئًا ۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِنَا حَاسِبِينَ}

(And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.) (Al-Anbiyaa: 47)

( وَاتَّقُوا يَوْمًا تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ ) (And fear a Day when you will be returned to Allah ): The return to Allah (swt) when lifetime is over is only decided by Him, not by humans.

( ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ ) (…Then every soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they will not be treated unjustly): Those are the just balance which good and bad deeds are weighed. Undoubtedly, the fact that humans treat their fellow humans in good faith is what adds weight (of good deeds) to the balance. This is because Allah (swt) has made the Islamic Sharia for the good of mankind. On the other hand, Allah (swt) is in no need of one’s prayer, zakat, pilgrimage, or fasting; you rather you do the good for yourself:

{ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا}

(And whatever good you put forward for yourselves – you will find it with Allah. It is better and greater in reward.) (Al-Muzzammil: 20)

So, all of that will be in the balance of your good deeds which result from human interaction pursuant to the rules of the Almighty. The outcome in this case is a very noble society. This is not merely theoretical. Once, Omar Bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed as a judge by when Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) -and we all know what being a judge means, to handle and settle all that arises from differences among people in the society plus settling economic, social or criminal disputes of all forms. So, when Abu Bakr assumed the caliphate, he appointed Omar bin Al-Khattab as a judge in Madina, and Omar spent a year without having a single case. Then, Omar asked Abu Bakr to discharge him from being a judge. “O Omar, is it out of toil that you ask for a discharge?” wondered Abu Bakr, and Omar replied, “No, O Caliph, but the believers never need me (as a judge). They have known what their rights are and don’t ask for more. As such, they have known their duties and never fall short of. Each of them wants for his brother what he wants for himself. They check about the condition of whoever has been unseen; visit the patient; support the poor; help the needy; and stand by the distressed among them. For them, advice is a doctrine, and their manners are to enjoin the good and forbid the evil. So, how come that they ever disagree? So, how come that they ever disagree?” It is a society based on such rules; and no one can even claim that ‘you’re talking about theoretical or imaginary situations as in dreams.’ Never, we’re not talking about dreams. But rather about divine instructions and Sharia rules that had been followed and applied, resulting in a society as depicted in the story of Omar bin Al-Khattab and Abu Bakr. In Addition, Harun ar-Rashid, the Abbasid Caliph, used, while in the capital Baghdad, to look at a cloud and says: “pour wherever you want, your fruits come to me.” These words can’t be said without certainty. It’s said based upon the sound value, moral, social, and economic setup established by Prophet Muhammad (saws).
