A reminder (khatira) after four rak’ats (units) of Tarāwih by Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari (student of Mufti Taqi Usmani) at the ISNA Centre/Mosque (Toronto, Canada) on 29 March, 2023 (being the 7th of Ramadān).

The reminder is based on the following verse: “The Weighing [of deeds] on that day is definite/is a reality. As for those whose scales are heavy, they will be the successful ones. But those whose scales are light, they are the ones who have brought loss to themselves, because they did not do justice to Our verses” (Qur’an 7: 9-10).

He explained, in light of this verse, that both our deeds and statements will be weighed on the Day of Judgement, as per the statement of Imam Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him). One of the ways of bringing weight into one’s deed is to develop sincerity (ikhlās) – that is, doing the action for the sake and pleasure of Allah alone. Whether its prayers, fasting, charity, giving a gift, visiting the sick, fulfilling the rights of others; if the intention is to earn the pleasure of Allah, the deed will bring weight to the scale in the hereafter. Conversely, if the intention is to please the people or gain some other worldly benefit, then the action/deed will be of no weight. May Allah Most High grant us all sincerity in our deeds. Āmīn.
