6 Preface فَأَمّا مَن ثَقُلَت مَوازينُهُYusuf AliThen, he whose balance (of good deeds)1 will be (found) heavy,The Balance is of course figurative. The Good Deeds will be weighed and appraised. This appraisement will be of the nicest and justest kind: for it will take into account motives, temptations, provocations, surrounding conditions, antecedents, subsequent amends, and all possible connected circumstances. Against them, presumably, will be deeds of the opposite kind, appraised in the same way. If the good predominates, the judgment will be in the man’s favour, and he will be ushered into a life of good pleasure and satisfaction. This will of course be on another plane.
