DAY OF TAGHABUN

*Day of taghabun (mutual loss and gain) among the people*

_These words automatically give the meaning that in the world taghabun is a common thing, but this taghabun is superficial and deceptive, the real taghabun will take place on the Day of Resurrection_

_There it will become manifest as to who actually incurred the loss and who actually earned the profits, who actually was deceived and who proved to be prudent and sensible, who actually had invested all his life capital in a wrong bargain and become bankrupt and who had invested all his energies and abilities, wealth and time, in a good bargain_

_On that Day the dwellers of Paradise will take away that share of the dwellers of Hell which they would have had in Paradise had they done good deeds in the world and the dwellers of Hell will take away that share of the people of Paradise, which they would have had in Hell had they done evil deeds is the world_

_*The wronged one will take away so many of the good deeds done by the wrongdoer as may be a suitable compensation for the wrong suffered*_

_For on the Day of Resurrection man will not possess any wealth which he may give to make up for the wrong done, there the only commodity worth exchange will be one’s conduct_

_Therefore, whoever had wronged another in the world, will have to make up for the wrong done by surrendering some of his own good deeds in his favor, or by taking some of his sins on himself and suffering the punishment for them_

Muqatil bin Hayyan said,
*"There is no mutual loss and gain greater than these entering Paradise and those being taken to the Fire."*
