110. ALWAYS DO JUSTICE إنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ. Verily Allah commands you to do justice (16:91) يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَى أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أوْ فَقِيرًا فالله أولى مَا فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الهَوَى أَن تَعْدِلُوا وَإِن تَلْوُ أَ أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا. O believers, be strict in observing justice. And bear witness only for the sake of Allah, even if it be against your own selves or against parents or kindred. Whether the person be rich or poor, in either case. Allah is more regardful of him than you could be. Therefore, follow not low desires so that you may act equitably. If you conceal the truth or evade it, then remember that Allah is well aware of what you do. (4:136) وَإِذَا قُلْتُمْ فَاعْدِلُوا وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَى وَبِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ أَوْفُوا ذَا ذَلِكُمْ وَضَكُم بِهِ، لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ. And when you speak, observe justice, even if the concerned person be a relative, and fulfil the covenant of. Allah. That is what He enjoins upon you, that you may remember. (6:153)
