ALLAH COMMANDS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE.

 

Allah Commands
Righteousness

And Justice

(M. Javed Naseem)

“Allah commands justice, the doing of good,
and liberality to kith and kin, and He forbids all
shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion. He
instructs you that you may receive admonition.”
(al-Quran 16:90)

Not everybody can handle power. Power corrupts and there are very very few people in the world who can stand up to their own temptation. Power turns the mediocre into tyrants and the poor masses who become the victim of injustice can only turn to God for help. Major religions of the world promote righteousness, social justice and compassion as envisaged by ONE God. But the men in power corrupted that system so that they (and their children too) could stay in power for as long as possible. The crooked gave it different names but the main objective behind all those fancy names was to grab the power and plunder the wealth, manipulating the poor or the weak, as long as possible.

****************************
Justice prevails under just
rulers while corruption prevails
under corrupt administrations.
If people are corrupt, they get
corrupt leaders to rule them.

The people in power generally don’t like the criticism or opposition. Therefore, they resort to violence, torture, shutting off general public by putting them in prisons, even killing them one way or the other so that they could prolong their tenure in power. In today’s world, these greedy, corrupt and power-hungry people call themselves ‘politicians’. To them, politics means grinding their own axe by fooling people with empty promises, lies, deceptions and even betrayals.

********************************************

Our world leaders can more clearly be defined

as greedy, power hungry, criminal, psychopathic,

manipulative and parasitic in nature. They

cannot lead us to the land of freedom, prosperity,

happiness and peace because they are not sincere

nor honest. They are incapable, incompetent, 

 inept and even inhumane!

To the believers, the Commands of Allah are very clear about justice and fair-dealing. Islam promotes righteousness and piety so that we become better human beings. The Almighty says in the Quran:

“O you 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 you swerve, and if you
distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah
is well-acquainted with all that you do.”
(al-Quran 4:135)

“… If you judge, judge in equity between them.
For Allah loves those who judge in equity.”
(al-Quran 5:42)

The Bible says:

“The Lord loves righteousness and justice, the earth is full of his unfailing love.” -- (Psalms 33:5).

“Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.” -- Leviticus (19:15).

"This is what the Lord Almighty said: “Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another.” -- (Zechariah 7:9).

“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow!” -- (Isaiah 1:17)
