57.25

لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ وَ اَنْزَلْنَا مَعَهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ وَ الْمِیْزَانَ لِیَقُوْمَ النَّاسُ بِالْقِسْطِۚ-وَ اَنْزَلْنَا الْحَدِیْدَ فِیْهِ بَاْسٌ شَدِیْدٌ وَّ مَنَافِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَ لِیَعْلَمَ اللّٰهُ مَنْ یَّنْصُرُهٗ وَ رُسُلَهٗ بِالْغَیْبِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَوِیٌّ عَزِیْزٌ۠ (25)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

Indeed, We have sent Our Messengers with clear proofs and We sent down, with them, the Book and the Scales that people would stand with justice.[1] And We sent down iron in which there is extreme strength and benefits for people that Allah may see who helps ˹the religion of˺ Allah and helps His Messengers without seeing.[1] Certainly, Allah is All-Powerful, Predominant.

Commentary

[1]

“Scales” is a metaphor for justice while “sending down the scales” is a reference to the command of being just. One opinion is that “scales” refers to the actual instrument, and “sending it down” refers to sending down its causes and giving the command to create it so that people remain firm on justice when mutually weighing in transactions so that no one violates the rights of another.

[2]

Allah Almighty is independent and self-sufficient. He does not require the help of anyone; here “helping Allah” is a figure of speech for “helping His religion”. This command of helping is only for the benefit of people themselves. In our day and age, the religion of Islam has to confront new tribulations constantly and today people are busy in tarnishing the face of Islam, sometimes even in the name of Islam itself. We too should ponder over whether we are the helpers of the religion of Allah or have we neglected this important duty.
