The Exact Balance

This verse calls us to weigh with an even balance.

وَزِنُواْ بِٱلۡقِسۡطَاسِ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمِ

And weigh with an even balance.

Quran, Ash-Shu'araa 26:182

In this passage, Allah commands to give full measure and to weigh with an even balance. He associates this with not depriving people and not spreading corruption. The even balance symbolizes fairness in our dealings.

In daily life, this can apply to our words and actions: being fair to others, not cheating, and giving everyone their due. It invites us to check that our decisions are equitable.

Today, before providing a service or sharing information, ask yourself if you are being fair and precise, as if weighing with an exact balance.
