Justice, Emblem of a Believer!!!
The world is in search of Justice. This is so, much so that everyone cries for Justice. Unfortunately for government and its people, there is no where you have a Court of Justice. What you have is court of Law. The ‘powerful’ individual and Nation make presence to Justice and fairness when it suit them. In real time, the elite, powerful individual and Nation interpret Justice to suit self.
Come to think of it, has it occurred to you that there is no school of Justice only school of Law or Law school?
A non-Muslim can go backless, frontless, pant-less, it is her ‘woman right’.
When a Muslim dresses by covering herself, called hijab. It becomes unconstitutional. Is it enshrined in the constitution to go without dress?
Islam made you know that Allah is JUST and He maintain JUSTICE at all times. That is why when you intellectually engage a Muslim to leave it for Allah (s.w.t), he gladly agree because, even if you have cheated him, he is sure Allah will recompense.
In other words:
Ignorance, superstition and fear of anything other than Allah, the Owner of the heavens and the earth is anathema to the proper practice of Al-Islam.
How do you know an ignoramus?:
When you are ignorant about Allah you worship objects that by your own hands, you either draw, carved or crafted, and you confused yourself and people about whom truly is the Creator, the One that deserved to be worshipped.

When you are superstitious, you tend to believe everything you are told, especially heresy, and lies will be sold to you at a cost. With this frame of mind, recognizing the truth become your challenge. It pays you to listen to the truth and the Truth shall set you free!
The consequence of false worship:
When you worship anything other than the Owner of the heavens and the earth, you will not only be afraid of humans, you will even be afraid of your shadow.
Are you just to your person:
In all of these scenario, will you, in all honesty, have done Justice to yourself? If you can be unjust to your person, it becomes easy for you to dispense injustice to whosoever is unfortunate to cross your path!
<> What will someone that lies to himself tell others? Lies
<> What will someone that smokes blew to the face of his friend or family member? Smokes of course
<> How will someone that is rude and uncouth behave to others including his parents? Rudely for sure.
<> How someone that is not helpful to his family be helpful to the larger society beats my imagination.
<> How will someone that lies to his spouse speak the truth to someone of lesser status.
<> How will someone that abuses himself through intoxicant treat others. He will abuse them in return.
<> The truth is, you can only spend from what you have.
In an Hadith related by the Best of Mankind, Muhammad s,a.w.
‘When the people insulted Eesa (a.s), he told them Salam, and he was asked why did he gave good words to one that insulted him, he replied that everyone spends from what he has in reserve!
Justice:
“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah as just witnesses; and let not the hatred of a people make you avoid justice. Be just; that is next to piety, and fear Allah for Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do. “(5:8)
Islam teaches us to be just with all people; whether with friends or foes and
at all times; in peace or in war.
It teaches its followers to conduct themselves with unconditional justice and morality, free of political motives, individual whims, social and cultural
circumstances, or temporal relativism.
“Allah does command you that you restore deposits to their owners, and , if you judge between mankind, that you judge with justice.”(4:58)
As a practical manifestation of its beauty, eternal values, mercy , and justice, Islam commands us to protect what the scholars call :
The Five Necessities:-
Islam instruct Muslims to protect their own and others:
1. Religion
2. Soul
3. Mind
4. Honor (dignity)
5. Money ( and whatever we own ).
Beautifully, the Glorious Qur’an points out that
‘whoever kills an innocent soul –“it is as if he had
killed mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is
as if he had saved mankind entirely.”(5:32)
Concerning the freedom and protection of faith, the
Glorious Qur\an stated:
“There is no compulsion in religion…”(2:256)
The Essence of Life is to be aware of the fact of Justice. Any individual, organization, society, or Nation that is unjust will end up with deceptive people as rulers and crime will ultimately flourish in such atmosphere. Remember…..
Justice is a the Hall Mark of Islam
Justice, Emblem of a Believer!!!
To Self and others, be just. It begins with you!
