Weighing the deeds on the day

As for what will be placed on the Balance on the Day of Resurrection, 












It has been said that the deeds will be placed on it, even though they are not material objects. Allah will give these deeds physical weight on the Day of Resurrection
It is recorded in the Sahih that Al-Baqarah and Al `Imran will come on the Day of Resurrection in the shape of two clouds, that provide shade, or two lined groups of birds. It is also recorded in the Sahih that the Qur'an will come to its companion who used to recite and preserve it in the shape of a pale-faced young man. He will ask It is "Who are you'' He will reply, "I am the Qur'an, who made you stay up sleeplessly at night and caused you thirst in the day.


Al-Baghawi
A'mbiyaaa' (The Prophets) :47
“And We shall set up the Balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection, then none will be dealt with unjustly in anything. And if there be the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it. And Sufficient are We to take account”
Surah A’rraf :8 ,9
8. And the weighing on that Day will be the true weighing). So, as for those whose scale (of good deeds) will be heavy, they will be the successful (by entering Paradise.
9. And as for those whose scale will be light, they are those who will lose themselves for their wrongful behavior with (And the weighing), of deeds on the day of  rescurration
Surah Nisaa' (Women):40
“Surely, Allah wrongs not even the weight of a speck of dust, but if there is any good (done), He doubles it, and gives from Him a great reward.”


Surah Aadi-yaat (The Coursers): 6-11

 
“Then as for him whose scale (of good deeds) will be heavy. He will live a pleasant life (in Paradise). But as for him whose scale (of good deeds) will be light. He will have his home in Hawiyah (pit, Hell). And what will make you know what it is (It is) a fiercely blazing Fire!”


Surah Mu'-minuun (The Believers) 101-103
“, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another. Then, those whose scales (of good deeds) are heavy, they are the successful. And those whose scales (of good deeds) are light, they are those who lose themselves, in Hell will they abide”


Hadith #1
Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) said
“A young man with fair color and good scent will come to the believer, who will ask, `Who are you' He will reply, `I am your good deeds'. It was also said that the Book of Records that contains the deeds will be weighed.
Hadith#2
A Hadith states that a man will be brought forth and ninety-nine scrolls containing errors and sins will be placed on one side of the balance each as long as the sight can reach. He will then be brought a card on which `La ilaha illallah' will be written.
He will say, "O Lord! What would this card weigh against these day of  rescurration'' Allah will say, "You will not be wronged.'' So the card will be placed on the other side of the Balance,
Behold! The (ninety-nine) scrolls will go up, as the card becomes heavier.

At-Tirmidhi
Hadith #3
“On the Day of Resurrection, a fat man will be brought forth, but he will not weigh with Allah equal to the wing of a mosquito. He then recited the Ayah,
Bani-'Is-raa-'iil (The Children of 'Israel):105
“And on the Day of Resurrection, We shall assign no weight for them.”
Hadis #4
The Prophet said about `Abdullah bin Mas`ud,
“Do you wonder at the thinness of his legs By He in Whose Hand is my soul! They are heavier on the Balance than (Mount) Uhud.”
It is also possible to combine the meanings of these Ayat and Hadiths by stating that all this will truly occur, for sometimes the deeds will be weighed, sometimes the scrolls where they are recorded will be weighed, and sometimes those who performed the deeds will be weighed. Allah knows best.
