Surah 21

Surah 21:47

"We shall lay down the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, and no one will be done any evil. (Even) if there is (only) the weight of a mustard seed, We shall produce it, and We are sufficient as reckoners."

– We shall lay down the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection
The weigh scales of Allah make for precise judgements on the Day of Resurrection, down to the weight of a mustard seed. Here Allah is the reckoner watching which way the scales will tip. See “The Place of the Scale(s) in the Reckoning”.
