His Majesty King Mohammed VI concluded his inaugural address for the final legislative year of the House of Representatives on October 10, 2025, with a pivotal Quranic verse: “So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it” (Al-Zalzalah: 7-8).
The choice of this verse was not merely an emotional closure, but a clear message to every politician and citizen: individual and collective responsibility is real, and actions, no matter how small, have consequences and accountability. Just as parliamentarians are required to fulfill their responsibilities in legislation and government oversight, citizens are also urged to remain vigilant and actively participate in public life, adhering to laws and national principles.
The verse followed His Majesty’s guidance to parliamentarians on the necessity of working with a spirit of responsibility, fully engaging in the implementation of open programs and projects, and achieving social and spatial justice. This Quranic reminder places everyone before the truth: plans and policies can only succeed if each individual sincerely and honestly assumes their role.
The message conveyed
Through this verse, His Majesty emphasizes that:
– Every action is measured: parliamentary and political actions, as well as individual initiatives, carry weight, and no good deed will be overlooked nor any evil ignored.
– Accountability is essential: national responsibility is not exclusive to parliamentarians, but extends to every citizen, as part of a comprehensive national system.
– Dedication and seriousness are foundational to work: commitment to national duties requires a pure intention and a focus on the public good before any personal or partisan considerations.
In this way, the King’s address serves as both an ethical and political reference point, not only directing politicians but also placing the entire society before its responsibilities, affirming that national participation and adherence to laws and developmental initiatives are both a national and religious duty.
It is a powerful message for every citizen and every official: success in serving the nation is not measured by words or slogans, but by responsible actions, both small and large, that count before God and the nation alike.
