' While reading the Quran this morning, I realized that I had failed to mention an important message: that we should not transgress the balance, and compassionately establish justice so that the delicate ecosystem is not thrown out of balance: [Al-Qur'an Chapter 55:1, 7-9, Translator: Sahih International] 1 The Most Merciful 7 And the heaven He raised and imposed the balance 8 That you not transgress within the balance. 9 And establish weight in justice and do not make deficient the balance. http://quran.com/55 [Al-Qur'an Chapter 42:17-18, Translator: Sahih International] 17 It is Allah who has sent down the Book in truth and [also] the balance. And what will make you perceive? Perhaps the Hour is near. 18 Those who do not believe in it are impatient for it, but those who believe are fearful of it and know that it is the truth. Unquestionably, those who dispute concerning the Hour are in extreme error. http://quran.com/42 > 2) The Quran also tells us that we will be held accountable for all that >> we've been gifted with, hence the more worldly riches or power one has, the >> greater the responsibility and the greater the accountability >> So yes, it speaks of all of us and says that every action, intention, >> everything is being recorded and will be replayed and the criminals will >> not be able to say anything, rather their bodies will bear witness against >> themselves.
