In the Quran: Allah Shall Set up Scales of Justice for the Day of Judgment

The mustard is mentioned five times in the Bible, all of them are in the New Testament being not mentioned at all in the Old Testament. 

The mustard is mentioned two times in the Quran.

Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.

Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, "Why couldn't we drive it out?

Jesus replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

The Quran mentions more miracles that have been done by the Lord Jesus e.g. when he talks while he was a new born.

In addition, The Lord Jesus put two difficult criteria for a faith that is as small as a mustard seed.

According to the Lord Jesus, you will never ever find a Christian who has a faith as small as a mustard seed. 

The Quran does not put such criteria for a small faith.

In addition, the Quran says that Allah shall set up scales of justice for the Day of Judgment, so that not a soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least, and if there be (no more than) the weight of a mustard seed, Allah will bring it (to account): and enough are we to take account.

The Mustard in the Bible:

 

Matthew 17:20

 

New International Version

He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

 

New American Standard Bible

And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

 

English Standard Version

He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."

 

King James Version

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

----------

 

Luke 17:6

 

New International Version

He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.

 

New American Standard Bible

And the Lord said, "If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea'; and it would obey you.

 

English Standard Version

And the Lord said, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

 

King James Version

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

================================

 

The Mustard in the Quran:

 

Chapter 31: LUQMAN (LUQMAN)

Verse 31:16

 

QARIB:

On the day of resurrection we shall set up just scales, so that no soul shall in the least be wronged, even though it be the weight of a grain of mustard seed we will bring it we suffice as reckoners.

SHAKIR:

And we will set up a just balance on the day of resurrection, so no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least; and though there be the weight of a grain of mustard seed, (yet) will we bring it, and sufficient are we to take account

PICKTHAL:

And we set a just balance for the day of resurrection so that no soul is wronged in aught. though it be of the weight of a grain of mustard seed, we bring it. and we suffice for reckoners.

YUSUFALI:

we shall set up scales of justice for the day of judgment, so that not a soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least, and if there be (no more than) the weight of a mustard seed, we will bring it (to account): and enough are we to take account.

 

The meaning of the verse:

And Allah shall set up the just balances for the Day of Resurrection; on the Day of Judgment, there will be a balance which will weigh only good and bad works (so that no soul is wronged in aught) no one will have his good works diminished nor his evil works increased. (Though it be of the weight of a grain of mustard seed, Allah will bring it; He requites for it.

And Allah suffices for reckoners to count all things; Allah is enough as Preserver and Knower.

Howling at New Moon

By: Michael Clutton | 29/12/2009
Fans who howled about the lack of Edward in New Moon were obviously entranced by the initial romantic pairing and assumed Edward Cullen was the end-game for the Twilight story. In truth, such a restrictive plot line would have greatly limited the author’s ability to expand her vision into a true saga with multiple books. Either they stayed together or they didn’t. Either Bella became a vampire or she didn’t. Then what?
