As for him whose good deeds will be light..

Surah Al-Qariah/ The Calamity

"But as for him whose Balance will be light." [101:08]
- meaning, his bad deeds are more than his good deeds. Then Allah says,
 "His mother will be Hawiyah." [101:09]
- It has been said that this means he will be falling and tumbling headfirst into the fire of Hell, and the expression `his mother' has been used to refer to his brain (as it is the mother of his head). A statement similar to this has been reported from Ibn `Abbas, `Ikrimah, Abu Salih and Qatadah. 
- It has also been said that it means his mother that he will return to and end up with in the Hereafter will be Hawiyah, which is one of the names of the Hellfire.
- Ibn Jarir said, "Al-Hawiyah is only called his mother because he will have no other abode except for it.''
Thus, Allah says in explaining the meaning of Al-Hawiyah,
"And what will make you know what it is." [101:10]
Allah's statement
"A fire Hamiyah!" [101:11]
- meaning, extreme heat. It is a heat that is accompanied by a strong flame and fire.
It is narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said,
"The fire of the Children of Adam that you all kindle is one part of the seventy parts of the fire of Hell." They (the Companions) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Isn't it sufficient'' He replied, "It is more than it by sixty-nine times." This has been recorded by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

May Allah protect us from any punishment in this life and the next especially, and may we gain am excellent understanding of His Book, Ameen
