Explanatory Note

It is useful for us to consider the weights, whether heavy or light. This means that there are standards which God credits with being valuable and others that are valueless. This is the general meaning of the statement which the surah wants to convey. However, God knows best the exact nature of the balance determining such weights. To indulge in a sophisticated, logical and linguistic argument about the meaning of the Qur’anic term, mawazin, used here is in itself a departure from the Qur’anic spirit and indicates that the reader is not interested in the Qur’an or in Islam.
