🤲🏻 WHEN ALLAH COMMANDS JUSTICE (Never Let Injustice Become Your Choice) ⚖️
✅ It is good to see among people one who loves to be just and is eager to do so. It is by virtue of justice that the heavens and the earth are maintained, and justice is the foundation on which the best interests of people and countries may be served. It is one of the most important things that Allãh ﷻ has enjoined in His holy Book.
Allãh ﷻ says:
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَاۡمُرُ بِالۡعَدۡلِ وَالۡاِحۡسَانِ
➡️ “Allãh commands justice and fair dealing…”
[Surah an-Nahl Q 16:90]
➡️ “Verily! Allãh commands that you should render back the trusts to those, to whom they are due; and that when you judge between men, you judge with justice. Verily, how excellent is the teaching which He (Allah) gives you! Truly, Allah is Ever All-Hearer, All-Seer.”
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَاۡمُرُكُمۡ اَنۡ تُؤَدُّوا الۡاَمٰنٰتِ اِلٰٓى اَهۡلِهَا ۙ وَاِذَا حَكَمۡتُمۡ بَيۡنَ النَّاسِ اَنۡ تَحۡكُمُوۡا بِالۡعَدۡلِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ نِعِمَّا يَعِظُكُمۡ بِهٖ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ سَمِيۡعًۢا بَصِيۡرًا
[Surah an-Nisa’ 4:58]
➡️ “And give full measure and full weight with justice. We burden not any person, but that which he can bear. And whenever you give your word (i.e. judge between men or give evidence, etc.), say the truth even if a near relative is concerned, and fulfill the Covenant of Allah, This He commands you, that you may remember”
وَاَوۡفُوۡا الۡكَيۡلَ وَالۡمِيۡزَانَ بِالۡقِسۡطِ ۚ لَا نُـكَلِّفُ نَفۡسًا اِلَّا وُسۡعَهَا ۚ وَاِذَا قُلۡتُمۡ فَاعۡدِلُوۡا وَلَوۡ كَانَ ذَا قُرۡبٰى ۚ وَبِعَهۡدِ اللّٰهِ اَوۡفُوۡا ؕ ذٰ لِكُمۡ وَصّٰٮكُمۡ بِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُوۡنَ ۙ
[Surah al-An‘aam 6:152]
Hence Allãh ﷻ says:
Believers! Stand out firmly for justice, as a witness to truth for the sake of Allaah even though it may either be against yourselves or against your parents and kinsmen, or the rich or the poor: for Allãh is more concerned with their well-being than you are. Do not, then, follow your own desires lest you keep away from justice. If you twist or turn away from (the truth), know that Allãh is well aware of all that you do.
يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا كُوۡنُوۡا قَوَّامِيۡنَ بِالۡقِسۡطِ شُهَدَآءَ لِلّٰهِ وَلَوۡ عَلٰٓى اَنۡفُسِكُمۡ اَوِ الۡوَالِدَيۡنِ وَالۡاَقۡرَبِيۡنَ ؕ اِنۡ يَّكُنۡ غَنِيًّا اَوۡ فَقِيۡرًا فَاللّٰهُ اَوۡلٰى بِهِمَا فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الۡهَوٰٓى اَنۡ تَعۡدِلُوۡا ۚ وَاِنۡ تَلۡوٗۤا اَوۡ تُعۡرِضُوۡا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ خَبِيۡرًا
In a nutshell, let's us do our best to achieve justice in all areas of our life. Be just towards other people by upholding ties of kinship, treating people kindly and pardoning those who mistreat you; love for them what you love for yourself of good. Be just towards plants, animals and the earth by showing mercy and compassion, and avoid causing harm. Then if Allãh ﷻ sees us doing this, He will reward you by His leave as He, (the glorified and exalted, says:
➡️ “Is there any reward for good other than good? Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny?”
هَلۡ جَزَآءُ الْاِحۡسَانِ اِلَّا الۡاِحۡسَانُۚ
فَبِاَىِّ اٰلَاۤءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبانِ
[Surah ar-Rahmãn 55:60-61]
