Core tenet of Islam

Every soul stands before God on the Last Day.

Judgment weighs each deed — and, the tradition insists, mercy outruns wrath.

Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held

Final accountability gives every act weight: the Quran's image is scales fine enough to register an atom. Judgment is individual — no clan, wealth, or intercessor changes the arithmetic — and mercy is declared to outrun wrath, but not to cancel the audit.

From the sources — the passages this rests on; concise renderings, cited

Whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.
