Islamic Justice

¹³⁵ Stand firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even if against:

yourselves,
your parents, or
your relatives.

Allah takes care of both rich or poor.

So do not follow your desires, lest you swerve.

¹³⁶ Whoever rejects Allah, His angels, His Books, His messengers, and the Last Day, has strayed far in error.

¹³⁷ Allah will not forgive nor guide those who believe, then disbelieve, then believe, then disbelieve, then increase in disbelief.

¹³⁹ Those who ally themselves with the disbelievers instead of the believers. Do they seek glory in them?

¹⁴⁰ When you hear Allah’s revelations being rejected, or ridiculed, do not sit with them until they engage in some other subject.

Otherwise, you would be like them.

Those who lie in wait for you: if you attain victory from Allah, they say, “Were we not with you?” But if the disbelievers get a turn,
The hypocrites try to deceive Allah, but He is deceiving them.

When they stand for prayer, they stand lazily. They show off in front of people and remembering Allah only a little.

Wavering in between, neither with these, nor with those.
Muslims, Do not befriend disbelievers rather than believers. Do you want to give Allah a clear case against you?
The hypocrites will be in the lowest level of the Fire, and you will find no helper for them.
Except those who repent, and reform, and hold fast to Allah, and dedicate their religion to Allah alone. These are with the believers; and Allah will give the believers a great reward.
What would Allah accomplish by your punishment, if you have given thanks, and have believed?
Allah does not like the public uttering of bad language, unless someone was wronged.
If you let a good deed be shown, or conceal it, or pardon an offense—Allah is Pardoningand Capable.
Those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers, and want to separate between Allah and His messengers, and say, “We believe in some, and reject some,” and wish to take a path in between.
These are the unbelievers, truly. We have prepared for the unbelievers a shameful punishment.

But if you refuse—to Allah belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Allah is in no need, Praiseworthy.

The Jews challenge you to bring down to them a book from the sky.

They had asked Moses for something even greater by asking to show them Allah plainly.

The thunderbolt struck them for their wickedness. Then they took the calf for worship, even after the clear proofs had come to them.

Yet We pardoned that, and We gave Moses a clear authority.

We raised the Mount above them in accordance with their covenant.

We said to them: “Enter the gate humbly. Do not violate the Sabbath”

We received from them a solemn pledge.

But for their violation of their covenant, and their denial of Allah’s revelations, and their killing of the prophets unjustly, and their saying, “Our minds are closed.”

For their faithlessness, and their saying against Mary a monstrous slander.

¹⁵⁷ The Jews say that they killed the Jesus.

In fact, they did not crucify nor kill him.
It just appeared to them as if they did.
Those who differ about him are in doubt about it.
They have no knowledge of it, except the following of assumptions.
Certainly, they did not kill him.
¹⁵⁸ Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself.

¹⁵⁹ None of the Jews believe in Jesus before his death. On the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them.

¹⁶⁰ We forbade the Jews good things that used to be lawful for them, because of:

their wrongdoings
deterring many from Allah’s path
their taking usury, although they were forbidden it
for their consuming people’s wealth dishonestly.

We have prepared for the faithless among them a painful torment.

But those among them firmly rooted in knowledge, and the believers, believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you; and the observers of prayers, and the givers of charity, and the believers in Allah and the Last Day—upon these We will bestow an immense reward.
We have inspired you, as We had inspired Noah and the prophets after him.

We inspired:

Abraham
Ishmael
Isaac
Jacob
the Patriarchs
Jesus
Job
Jonah
Aaron
Solomon.

We gave David the Psalms.

O People of the Scripture! Do not:

exaggerate in your religion
say about Allah except the truth

Jesus is the Messenger of Allah.

His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him.
Believe in Allah and His messengers.
Do not say, “Three.”
Refrain—it is better for you. Allah is only one God.

The Messiah does not disdain to be a servant of Allah, nor do the favored angels. Whoever disdains His worship, and is too arrogant—He will round them up to Himself altogether.
But as for those who believe and do good works, He will pay them their wages in full, and will increase His grace for them. But as for those who disdain and are too proud, He will punish them with an agonizing punishment. And they will find for themselves, apart from Allah, no lord and no savior.
A proof has come to you from your Lord, and We sent down to you a clear light.
As for those who believe in Allah, and hold fast to Him, He will admit them into mercy and grace from Him, and will guide them toHimself in a straight path.
They ask you for a ruling. Say, “Allah gives you a ruling concerning the person who has neither parents nor children.” If a man dies, and leaves no children, and he had a sister, she receives one-half of what he leaves.

And he inherits from her if she leaves no children.

But if there are two sisters, they receive 2/3 of what he leaves. If the siblings are men and women, the male receives the share of two females.” Allah makes things clear for you, lest you err.
