Justice under all circumstances

J ustice means being fair and impartial when offering solutions to
problems between people.
Those who do not live bythe moral values of the Qur'an, however,
generally do not conductthemselves with a sense of justice. Many
external factors may have positive or negative impact on their
decisions.
A person may give preference to the party he feels closer to
himself,or his own interests may influence the verdict; he may veer
from justice forthe sake of personal inclinations.
Deviation from strict justice is often greatest towards those whom one
dislikes most. Grudges and resentmentcloud the mind and make it hard
to take a decision in favor of the despised party.
Rage harbored in the heart may hinder a person from even acknowledging
the other party's rights of.
For this reason Allah draws special attention to this pitfall and
warns believers against it:
You who believe! Show integrity for the sake of Allah, bearing witness
with justice. Do not let hatred for a people incite you into not
beingjust. Be just. That is closer to heedfulness. Have fear of Allah.
Allah is aware of what you do.(Surat al- Ma'ida; 8)
In compliance with the verse, Muslims never commit injustice to any
individual or society because of kinship, resentment or personal
interests.
No matter what someone's belief, ideology or philosophy may be, or how
hostile his attitude to Muslims, atrue believer always treats him with
justice.
He is not moved by emotion toward unfair decisions, and even when
contrary to his own interests, he does not conceal or distort the
truth.
