Scale (Mizan)

The Imams, particularly in Shia tradition, have further elaborated on this concept, warning their followers of the consequences of neglecting the weight of their deeds. They elucidate that the day of reckoning brings forth a profound realization where the true essence of one’s life choices is unveiled.

3. Mizan as a Moral Compass

The concept of Mizan transcends its eschatological dimensions; it acts as a moral compass for Shia Muslims in their daily lives. By internalizing the Mizan framework, adherents foster a keen awareness of their actions. Encouragement towards virtuous behavior and the avoidance of sin becomes a natural outcome of contemplating the scale.
