This short Surah assures that Allah is allknow he knows the heart of mankind which is ungrateful, wicked and violent and yet will judge mankind , this seems to offer a hopeless dilemna. Only the Christian message of the God/Man Jesus taking on man's rightful judgment from Allah provides a solution
The striking disaster will occur and people will be scattered like moths, the scale will weigh all deeds -bliss to those whose good deeds are heavy enough, and the scorching abyss to those whose deeds are too light.

The problem here seems fairly obvious, how is one assured that his good deeds are indeed objectively "heavy enough". Unfortunately Muhammad and the Quran to not offer bances of these weights, the really wicked reality of what the Quran teaches as to ones best hope for sparadise is other passages where dying as a jihadi is the ultimate tipping of the scales.
Once again the prophet muhammad offers a dilemna without a solution. This Surah clearly teaches that worldly wealth can be a distraction from eternal matters. However in Surah 8 Al-Anfal the spoils of war Muhammad makes it clear the spoils of war are a reward for fighting for Allah, in fact it explains that fighting for Allah (Muhammad)

If you live you live you get spoils if you die paradise. Is this really the man you want to trust with your eternal destiny?
