  • Quran 55:7-8 How Does The Sky Being Established On Mizan Do Anything?

    Posted by A Hasan on December 9, 2020 at 8:50 am

    When God says that ‘we created the skies with mizan so that you don’t breach the mizan’- what does the sky being in perfect equilibrium have to do with me giving due weight when buying and selling?

    Couldn’t an argument be made that there is a mizan in the animal kingdom where animals kill and eat others for survival and land and mates, so why wouldn’t we do the same?

    They both have a different context and different application to it.

    Please refer to the video below from 1:55:46 to 1:57:20

      But why would someone looking at the sky to see it’s complications and fine tuning think about it being a reason to be morally upright?

      This is a very beautiful metaphor where Meezan of this universe has been aesthetically linked to upholding Meezan in our in our daily lives.

      But the verse if I’m correctly interpreting says that the sky was made with mizan ‘so that’ you don’t transgress the balance. How does it link?

      This universe has been built on a balanced scale, so keep your scales balanced as well in dealings with others. It requires some aesthetic appreciation of Quranic text. Honestly, this one’s a beauty.

      But do you agree that no one would come to that conclusion if it wasn’t explicitly mentioned like this in this surah?

      We are discussing text of Quran here, not whether someone would’ve come up with this relationship or not on their own. Once the Kalam comes into being by the creator of Kalaam, only then we can appreciate and understand its beauty.
