Al-Maidah : 42
Translation
[They are] avid listeners to falsehood, devourers of [what
is] unlawful. So if they come to you, [O Muhammad], judge between them or turn away from them. And if you turn away from them - never will they harm you at all. And if you judge, judge between them with justice. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.
Justice
Definition
Literally : Placing things in the right place where they belong Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah : Justice is the supreme goal and objective of Islam
Translation
O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah , witnesses
in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do. (Al-Maidah:8)
Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and
do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. (Al-Mumtaanah:8)
Conclusion
Injustice in any spheres of life is unacceptable and contradicts with the
teaching of al-Quran and the objectives of the Shariah.
Fair judgement is not passed in order to please people but to please Allah Justice is the most effective guarantee provided by Islamic law everywhere
and in all times.
