Justice in Islam | Perspective from Quran and Sunnah

Justice refers to equality in giving rights and in enduring by obligations without discriminations for any reason, either for religion, race or color. As we know Islam comes from the word “Salaam” meaning “Peace” and, since the religion, Islam is based on total submission to the will of Lord. We Muslims believe that we can get real peace only when we submit to our Lord the Creator of this world and everything in it.

Justice in Islam also means giving equal rights and treatment to others. Justice is a moral virtue and an attribute of human personality. Justice is close to equality in the sense that it creates a state of equilibrium in the distribution of rights and duties, but they are not identical. The Prophet (SAW) declared about Justice in Islam in a way: “There are seven categories of people whom God will shelter under His shade on the Day when there will be no shade except His. (One is) the just leader.”(Sahih Muslim)

Justice according to Quran

In Islam Justice is considered to be the supreme virtue. In Holy Quran Allah Almighty mentioned about Justice in many times that we are going to discuss below:

Allah Almighty said in the Quran: “God commands justice and fair dealing…” (Quran 16:90). From this verse, we can conclude that Allah commanded us to do justice and fair dealings in all aspects of life whether it’s small or big matter. In another verse of Quran related to Justice, Allah Almighty says: “O you, who believe, be upright for God, and (be) bearers of witness with justice!” (Quran 5:8). Therefore, we can conclude justice is an obligation of Islam and injustice is forbidden. The place or importance of justice to the Quranic value system is displayed by the following verse: “We sent Our Messengers with clear signs and sent down with them the Book and the Measure in order to establish justice among the people…” (Quran 57:25)

The one and only purpose of sending the prophets was to establish Justice in the world and end injustice. By doing justice means giving everyone his right. But this simple statement covers all the complexities of life in their endless and ever-changing relations; all the allurement; all the conflicts and problems. To guide the people, Allah sent down the Prophets with clear signs, the Book, and the Balance. The Book contains the revelations that spell out what’s fair and unfair or right and wrong. From the Holy Book, we can understand what is right or wrong and what Allah has commanded us.

In another verse of the Holy Quran Allah says: “… Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.” (Quran 60:8). From this verse, we can conclude that Quran spells out the distinction between good and bad through vivid commandants regarding justice. Allah has asked His worshippers to maintain the system of justice even if the conditions and circumstances are against family and kinship. Quran narrated it as: “O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both….” (Quran 4:135).

While dealing with one’s enemy one is not strong enough to do justice because the hatred surpasses the sublime feelings of justice. Despite, the Quran has asked to fear Allah and establish justice with an enemy as well. Allah is All-Watchful, observe everything, and will hold a person accountable for an inch of injustice if happened. In other words, you cannot do injustice even when you are dealing with the enemy.

The Quran also refers to particular instances and contexts of justice. One such instance is the requirement of just treatment of orphans. In Holy Quran, Allah Almighty stated that: “And approach not the property of the orphan except in the fairest way, until he [or she] attains the age of full strength, and give measurement and weight with justice…” (Quran 6:152)

Justice according to Sunnah of Prophet (SAW)

The Prophet (SAW) asked to be just and kind. He (SAW) always had to deal with people and their affairs as a supreme judge, reformer, apostle, and leader of Muslims. In conducting Justice our beloved Prophet (SAW) made no distinction between believers and non-believers, friends and foes, high and low.

There are so many examples of Justice from the life of Prophet (SAW) from which we can get inspiration and can do justice in our all aspects of life. Here we will discuss some of them:

A woman of the Makhzoom family with good connections was found guilty of theft. For the prestige of the Quraish, some prominent people including Usaamah Ibn Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him, interceded to save her from punishment. The Prophet (SAW) refused to forgive the crime and expressed displeasure saying: “Many a community ruined itself in the past as they only punished the poor and ignored the offenses of the exalted. By Allah, if Muhammad’s (My) daughter Fatimah would have committed theft, her hand would have been severed.” (Bukhari)

Allah has commanded his messengers to establish justice and spoke to them in an affirmative tone as quoted in Hadith: “O My slaves, I have forbidden injustice for Myself and forbade it also for you. So avoid being unjust to one another.” (Sahih Muslim)

Allah detests a ruler who has bestowed with supremacy yet is ignorant of justice. Allah will deprive him of His shade in His territory at the Day of estimation as Hadith narrates: “There are seven categories of people whom God will shelter under the shade of His throne on the Day when there will be no shade except this. [One is] the just leader.” (Sahih Muslim)

In another hadith, the Holy Prophet (SAW) stated that: “People, beware of injustice, for injustice shall be darkness on the Day of Judgment.”(Musnad Ahmed). So we can say we have to know about justice and injustice, if we know about it then we can act according to that. Justice has broad meanings that include unfair dealings, uttering words that can hurt the sentiments and biased feelings towards fellow being.

Justice is an essential part of Islamic teachings and should be part of every faith messenger. The foundation of a territory is justice that Allah has loved for His worshipper and commanded His messenger too. Those who will neglect justice will in the lowest steep of hell and the oppressed get their due rights.

Drinking Alcohol is the Greatest Sin in Islam

Khamr is the word used for Alcoholic drinks in the Holy Quran. In religion Islam, anything that is harmful to human beings and society is forbidden. Alcohol is indeed harmful and negatively affects the mind and the body. Therefore, Islam takes the determined stand towards alcohol and forbids its consumption in either small or large quantities. Alcohol is the thirteenth among the Greater Sins in religion Islam. In Holy Quran, Allah Almighty says: “They ask you about intoxicants and the games of chance Say: in both of them there is a great sin and means of profit for men, and their sin is greater than their profit.” (Quran, 2:219)

Drinking alcohol can, in fact, cause permanent damage to memory and learning ability. It darkens the mind, causes disease, wastes money, and destroys individuals, families, and communities. In another verse of the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty said: “…The devil wants only to cast among you enmity and hatred by means of strong drink and games of chance and to turn you from remembering Allah and from prayer. Will you then desist” (Quran, 5:90-91). Above mentioned verses are the ones that declared total prohibition of alcohol to the Muslims. After the revelation of the verse (5:90-91), the Muslim citizens of Medina immediately began to discharge their stocks of wine into the sand and streets; so that the wine ran through the streets of Medina. They rushed to make ablutions in order to purify themselves and started to act just like Allah Almighty commanded.

Drinking alcohol leads many people to do things that they regret afterward. These can include violence, drink-driving, sex before marriage or with other than one’s wife and many other things that not only break Islamic law but damage the moral fabric of societies leading to the breakup of families and hatred between people. Drinking can also lead to loss of self-esteem, dignity and terrible arguments. Not drinking helps people to avoid these sins. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “Allah has cursed alcoholic drinks and: the one who drinks it, the one who serves it, the one who sells it, the one who purchases it, the one who squeezes [the fruit to produce it], the one for whom it is squeezed (the brewer), the one who carries it and the one to whom it is carried.” (Abu Dawud)

Drinking alcohol and other intoxicants cause hundreds and thousands of people die every year from illnesses brought about by alcohol and drug abuse. Drinking Alcohol drives people to do acts that they would never consider otherwise. It causes them to forget their duty to Allah Almighty and also leads to mental illnesses and sometimes suicides. Whilst addicted to drinks a person does not take seriously his responsibilities, He neglects his wife, children, parents, and even his Lord. Allah Almighty may punish him, or may forgive him; Allah says: “Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills.”(Quran 4:48)

Among the evidence of punishment due to Alcohol in the Hereafter is the hadith in which the Prophet (SAW) said, “Every intoxicant is forbidden. Verily, Allah vowed that those who drank intoxicants will drink from the river of Khabaal.” The Prophet (SAW) was asked, “And what is the river of khabaal?” He replied, “The pus or sweat of the people of the Hellfire.” (Muslim)

Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (RA) narrated in hadith that, “Whoever drinks wine in this worldly life and does not repent from it will be forbidden from drinking it in the Hereafter.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

The one who drinks wine, Allah Almighty shall not accept his salah for 40 days. If he makes repents, Allah will accept his repentance. If he drinks wine again, Allah shall not accept his salah for 40 days. If he repents again, Allah will accept his repentance. If he drinks alcohol again, Allah shall not accept his salah for another 40 days. If he repents again, Allah will accept his repentance. If he drinks alcohol the fourth time, then Allah will not accept his repentance. If he dies, he will enter Hell, In Hell, he will be made to drink from the pus of the people of Jahannum.

May Almighty Allah keep us all away from this greatest sin and give us the strength to follow the straight path. Ameen!

Tips to make your Umrah trip memorable

Umrah is the holy journey that every Muslim longs all his life to perform. It is the utmost desire of every Muslim and finally, when the invitation to the home of Almighty comes, there are some things that must be done by a pilgrim to be before going to perform Umrah. Here we give some such tips that will make your trip a Non- forgettable one. Choose the cheap Umrah packages offered by “Qibla Travels Ltd: for a soothing and worry less trip.

Knowledge is helpful; anything that you want to do requires keen sight and knowledge. Umrah is one of the most dreamt trips of Muslims requires planning beforehand so that you will have knowledge about everything you do and every place you visit. So read a lot before coming to the holy land because knowledge is something that does not get wasted ever in your life.

Knowledge about Umrah Rituals; not the information about the sites, routes and other things but also it is necessary to have a complete information about the rituals of Umrah beforehand. For example, if you do not know what Ihram is or how you have to put it on, then obviously you will not be able to wear it at all or wear it correctly. Performing the rituals improperly or in a wrong manner just because of the lack of knowledge about them will not bring virtue but actually sin for whatever you did.

Backcheck; education about the history and antiquity of Islam is essential before going to Umrah. It will give your trip a real meaning to perform. If you do not know about the background of what you are up to then the real meaning of visiting the holy land will be forged. Als,o visit religious sites in Makkah and Madinah and if you have kids along with you then your Umrah trip will not be just a religious journey but will become an enjoyment for the kids. In this way, they will be able to learn Islam better.

Personal matter handling; it is very necessary to handle your personal issue and arrangements before coming to the holy land. If your brain gets stuck over something materialistic, then there is a high chance that you will not be able to deliver the Umrah’s ritual in a proper manner. A pilgrim should wrap up his personal plans and settle the responsibilities of him at home as well as he should make advance settlements for provision at Makkah and Madinah.

Bill payment; make it sure to pay all of the bills that are due to pay so that after returning you can attend your guests who will visit you to congratulate you on this holy journey. if you do not make your payments clear and leaving your children behind then they will suffer from the issue and so that you. If nobody is left home behind then on your return the very first thing you may receive is the notice about the bill which is not a good receiving at all.

Educate your children; if you have to make your Umrah trip memorable or without worries, it is very important to educate your children at home. Many of the pilgrims whose children are younger or infants and cannot be left alone at home, bring them to the holy land but all of the pilgrims cannot do that. Many of the pilgrims cannot afford or many of them want to perform their Umrah without being worried. If you bring your children along with you then obviously you have to look after them and cannot pay proper attention to your Ibadah. Leaving children (if possible) will be a much better idea. So, educate your children about what to do and what to not because most probably it is their first time to be at home without parents. It is also a good idea to leave them with some relatives who you can trust. Also, preach you, children, how to live at someone else home. If you educate your child enough, then you can perform your Umrah easily and make it a memorable journey.

Bringing of Documents; pilgrims should bring their all documents pertaining to their trip and the documents that can prove their identity. It is for one’s own safety and to make your trip a secure one without any problem pilgrims should bring complete documents related to their trip from departure to arrival back to your own land.

Currency; A pilgrim should have the currency of both his country that he uses and Saudi currency in a sufficient amount so you can avoid any inconvenience in the case and can focus fully on your Ibadah.
