| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Dīn (دين) | Judgment, recompense, way of life, debt |
| Dayyān (ديّان) | One who judges, recompenses, and requires account from others |
| Al-Dayyān (الديّان) | The One who has absolute authority to demand answers, who calls every soul to account, who gives each their due without delay or injustice — not just a judge, but the One who owns judgment itself |
Al-Dayyān doesn’t just observe — He holds to account. No deed is lost. No wrong is forgotten. No soul escapes the reckoning.
📜 HADITH REFERENCE
📌 Sahih Muslim 2581
Narrated by ʿAbdullāh ibn Unays (may Allah be pleased with him):
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Allah will gather the people on the Day of Resurrection, naked, uncircumcised, and barefoot… Then they will be called by a voice that is heard from far and near: ‘I am the King, I am the Dayyān. It is not befitting that anyone from the people of the Fire should enter the Fire while someone from the people of Paradise owes him a right — until I settle the matter.’”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Rajab, An-Nawawi, Ibn Hajar)**
- On that Day:
- No claim will go unheard
- No injustice will be brushed aside, even between people not destined for the same fate
- Al-Dayyān will:
- Bring justice full circle — even if it’s between enemies, strangers, or forgotten events
- Repay with deeds — when words, wealth, and excuses are worthless
You may forgive someone in this world — but Al-Dayyān will still offer you justice if you want it in the next.
📖 QUR’ĀNIC ECHO
📌 Surah Al-Fātiḥah 1:4
“Master of the Day of Recompense (Yawm al-Dīn).”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Kathir, Al-Baghawi, As-Sa‘di)**
- Yawm al-Dīn (Day of Judgment) is the day when Al-Dayyān rules openly, with:
- No intercessor except by His permission
- Perfect justice, not swayed by fame, wealth, or lineage
- Complete record-keeping — every action, intention, and thought brought forth
In this life, justice is partial.
In the court of Al-Dayyān — justice is perfect, permanent, and personal.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You were mistreated and never got closure.
Al-Dayyān says: “Wait. Nothing is lost with Me — and I will return what was taken.”
🌍 EVIDENCE IN TODAY’S WORLD
1. Someone Hurt You and Faced No Consequence
- The world moved on. But your pain lingered.
Al-Dayyān recorded it. And He will repay you, down to the last wound.
2. You Wronged Someone and They’re Gone
- You can’t apologize. You regret it now.
Al-Dayyān will bring you together again — and you’ll face what you owe.
3. Injustice Dominates Systems — and the Innocent Suffer
- Falsehood prevails. Liars rise.
Not forever. Al-Dayyān will flip the scales — when the world has exhausted its lies.
4. You Gave and Gave — and No One Repaid You
- Silent generosity. No thanks. No return.
Al-Dayyān saw every sacrifice — and He will reward it when it counts most.
❤️ EMOTIONAL ANCHORING
Al-Dayyān is the One who says:
“You are not forgotten. Nothing owed to you will be lost. And every injustice will be repaid — either in forgiveness or fair consequence.”
He:
- Judges with precision
- Allows no injustice to pass
- Calls all to account — regardless of status
- Honors every silent deed and every hidden wound
Whether you are owed or you owe — Al-Dayyān will meet you, measure you, and settle every debt in truth.
🤲 PERSONALIZED DU‘A
(Inspired by Hadith Muslim 2581 and Qur’an 1:4)
Not from the Prophet’s exact words — but drawn from authentic meanings
Yā Dayyān,
Judge me with mercy.
Return to me what was taken with justice — or replace it with something better.
Make me ready for Your court — not just with deeds, but with truth, humility, and repentance.
And on the Day no soul can help another, let me stand before You forgiven.
