J.U.S.T.I.C.E

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَى أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوْ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالأَقْرَبِينَ إِنْ يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَى بِهِمَا فَلاَ تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوَى أَنْ تَعْدِلُوا وَإِنْ تَلْوُوا أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا
"O ye who believe! Be ye staunch in justice, witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourselves or (your) parents or (your) kindred, whether (the case be of) a rich man or a poor man, for Allah is nearer unto both (than ye are). So follow not passion lest ye lapse (from truth) and if ye lapse or fall away, then lo! Allah is ever Informed of what ye do."
[An-Nisa' , 135]

  • Even if the works are done by the prominent Muslim scholars, no one should have just accepted the works blindly as how they are portrayed.
  • One should have a clear knowledge about the teachings in Islam so that they can identify whether the subject matters have been discussed in line with what Islam says or not.
  • Hence, relating to the issues of unislamic elements in the Islamic literary works, specifically on the issue of justice,we will try to clarify few things or in other words, islamizing those parts in accordance with what Islam had really said from the beginning.
  • The examples will be taken from a few topics in Islamic literature subject by some of the Muslim writers.
Allahua'lam.
