ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mizan

Okay, Mizan is a big word that means balance. Balancing things means making sure that everything is equal and fair. Just like when you share your toys with your friends and make sure everyone gets the same amount of time to play with them, that's balancing.

In Islam, Mizan is also used to talk about how Allah (God) balances things in the world. For example, Allah made day and night equal so that we have equal amounts of time for work and rest. And Allah also made things like the earth's atmosphere and gravity balanced or equal, so that we can live and breathe comfortably.

Mizan is a really important idea because it helps us understand that balance is key to a happy and fair world. It reminds us to be fair to others and to appreciate the balance and harmony of everything around us.
