“And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it].” Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, verse 42.
The one who obeys this verse will adopt true justice within their character. In a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 4721, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, advised that those who acted with justice will be sitting on thrones of light close to Allah, the Exalted, on Judgment Day. This includes those who are just in their decisions, with their families and those under their care and authority.
It is important for muslims to always act with justice in all occasions. One must show justice to Allah, the Exalted, by fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience. They must use all the blessings they have been granted in the correct way according to the teachings of Islam. This includes being just to their own body and mind by fulfilling their rights of food and rest as well as using each limb according to its true purpose. Islam does not teach muslims to push their body and minds beyond their limits thereby causing themselves harm.
One should be just in respect to people by treating them how they wish to be treated by others. They should never compromise on the teachings of Islam by committing injustice to people in order to obtain worldly things. This will be a major cause of people entering Hell, which has been confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 6579.
They should remain just even if it contradicts their desires and the desires of their loved ones. Chapter 4 An Nisa, verse 135:
“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just…”
One must be just towards their dependents by fulfilling their rights and necessities according to the teachings of Islam which has been advised in a Hadith found in Sunan Abu Dawud, number 2928. They should not be neglected nor handed over to others to fulfill this duty such as school and Mosque teachers. One should not take on this responsibility if they are too lazy to act with justice in regards to them.
No person is free of acting with justice as the minimum level is acting with justice in respect to Allah, the Exalted, and oneself.
