Accountability & Requital A Tafsīr of Sūrat ʾl Māʿūn - Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on 25th January 2013 at Al Kawthar Academy (Leicester) Video: https://youtu.be/82dJ-7N_EdY The entire universe has been created in balance. Any disruption to the equilibrium and perfection of the universe brings about anarchy and chaos. When a person loses all sense of accountability before Allāh, he does not fail to commit the worst of all crimes. He or she loses all sense of morality and ethics thus resulting in imbalance and destruction to one’s own life and the lives of others. There is only one monitoring and surveillance system, which if adhered to diligently, will ultimately prevent one from disobedience and causing harm to any of Allāh’s creation. This is the consciousness and fear of accountability before Allāh. This surah beautifully outlines the reasons for social discord and the causes of disharmony. It also goes into great detail into the concept of accountability, reckoning and judgement before Allāh.
