Explanatory Note
This is because what they bring to weigh on God’s absolutely accurate scales is seen to be unmistakably light. They have lost their own souls. What gain can they make thereafter? Human beings try to gather wealth and make gains in order to ensure their own future. When they have lost their own souls, what is left for them? This loss has been made “because of their wilful rejection of Our revelations” (Verse 9). Here the Qur’ānic verse uses the same word as ‘wrongdoing’ which also means `injustice’. As we have already explained, these two terms are frequently used in the Qur’ān as synonymous with disbelief or associating partners with God.
