‘O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do’. (Surah An Nisa, 4:135)
His (pbuh) justice extended to all, regardless of social status, religion, family ties, or friendship. Under his leadership and that of his successors, justice prevailed and the people were given their due rights. Learn about the ways of a true leader who served his people with justice and compassion.
