The idea of a book of deed is quite thought provoking.

I like reading books. Every weekend I take my daughters to the library and we get new books. Every day I read to them before bed. If there's a book we like, we read it a few times, if there's one we don't like, then we'll leave it after a few pages.

But then I think, what about my book of deeds?

- What would be the title of my book? One that inspires wonder because I lead a life trying to reach my full potential and taking every opportunity to please Allah, or just a passable, dull title reflecting a life stuck in the rate race, forgetting to invest in my akhira?

- What would be its theme? A tale of action and adventure in this

The record book of our deeds is something from the knowledge of unseen we believe in. Our ultimate goal is to perfect its records thus we are not held at the questioning phase in the aakhirah. Now, just think about the devices we are holding in our hands as a glimpse of our record book.( indeed we can never know). Would we really be satisfied with the History of it , the Searches we have made and the apps we have higher interactions so far.. Are they something we would like to share with someone else or intend to delete so we can hide our actions..? Or are we taking control measures so that the history is never recorded.? Let's have a frequent check of the history of our electronic devi

Alhamdulillah, I’ve finished memorising Al-Mutaffifin 8–14, and these ayahs are now part of my salah.

The surah gives a further account of the transgressors' book:

"It is a record inscribed." (Verse 9).

There is no possibility of addition or omission until it is thrown open on that great day. When this takes place, "woe on that day to the unbelievers." (Verse 10)

Then we are given information about the subject of unbelief, and the true character of the unbelievers who deny the Day of Judgement.

"None denies it but the guilty aggressors, the evildoers, who, when Our revelations are recited to them, cry: Fables of the ancients!" (Verses 12-13)

So, aggression and bad deeds lead the perpetrators to deny the Day of Judgement and to take a rude and ill-mannered attitude towards the Qur'an, de

So, Allah jalla wa 'ala says in al-Mutaffifin, 1: 'Cursed be those who give short measure.' I'm not feeling the usual translation of 'woe be upon those' because it just comes across too soft frankly. The opening word in this Surah وَيْلٌ means proper punishment, curse, damnation even. It's a very very woeful loss indeed. So yeah I'm going with cursed. But that isn't our focus as you've probably guessed. I want to challenge how we think about things. Everyone who reads this Surah knows that these few verses are referring to dishonest people who are super stingy, giving a little less to those they owe, and taking 100% and never less when they take from others: 'Cursed be those w
