JEW
Those with faith, those who are Jews, and the Christians and Sabaeans,
all who believe in Allah and the Last Day and act rightly, will have their
reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and will know no sorrow.
(2:62)
They say, 'No one will enter the Garden except for Jews and Christians.'
Such is their vain hope. Say, 'Produce your evidence if you are telling
the truth.' (2:111)
The Jews say, 'The Christians have nothing to stand on,' and the Christians
say, 'The Jews have nothing to stand on,' yet they both recite the Book.
Those who do not know say the same as they say. Allah will judge between
them on the Day of Rising regarding the things about which they differ.
(2:113)
The Jews and the Christians will never be pleased with you until you
follow their religion. Say, 'Allah's guidance is the true guidance.' If
you were to follow their whims and desires, after the knowledge that has
come to you, you would find no protector or helper against Allah. (2:120)
They say, 'Be Jews or Christians and you will be guided.' Say, 'Rather
adopt the religion of Ibrahim, a man of natural pure belief. He was not
one of the idolaters.' (2:135)
Or do they say that Ibrahim and Isma'il and Ishaq and Ya'qub and the
Tribes were Jews or Christians? Say, 'Do you know better or does Allah?'
Who could do greater wrong than someone who hides the evidence he has
been given by Allah? Allah is not unaware of what you do. (2:140)
Ibrahim was neither a Jew nor a Christian but a man of pure natural belief-a
Muslim. He was not one of the idolaters. (3:67)
Some of the Jews distort the true meaning of words, saying, 'We hear
and disobey,' and 'Listen without listening,' and 'Listen to us!' twisting
them with their tongues, disparaging the religion. If they had said, 'We
hear and we obey,' and 'Listen,' and, 'Look at us!' that would have been
better for them and more upright. But Allah has cursed them for their
disbelief. Very few of them believe. (4:46)
Because of wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We made forbidden for
them some good things which had previously been lawful for them; and because
of their obstructing many people from the Way of Allah, and because of
their practising usury when they were forbidden to do it, and because
of their consuming people's wealth by wrongful means, We have prepared
for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment. (4:160-161)
The Jews and Christians say, 'We are Allah's children and His loved ones.'
Say: 'Why, then, does He punish you for your wrong actions? No, you are
merely human beings among those He has created. He forgives whoever He
wills and He punishes whoever He wills. The kingdom of the heavens and
the earth and everything between them belongs to Allah. He is our final
destination.' (5:18)
O Messenger! Do not be grieved by those who rush headlong into disbelief
among those who say 'We believe' with their tongues when their hearts
contain no faith. And among the Jews are those who listen to lies, listening
to other people who have not come to you, distorting words from their
proper meanings, saying, 'If you are given this, then take it. If you
are not given it, then beware!' If Allah desires misguidance for someone,
you cannot help him against Allah in any way. Those are the people whose
hearts Allah does not want to purify. They will have disgrace in this
world and in the hereafter they will have a terrible punishment. (5:41)
We sent down the Torah containing guidance and light, and the Prophets
who had submitted themselves gave judgement by it for the Jews-as did
their scholars and their rabbis-by what they had been allowed to preserve
of Allah's Book to which they were witnesses. Do not be afraid of people,
be afraid of Me. And do not sell My Signs for a paltry price. Those who
do not judge by what Allah has sent down, such people are disbelievers.
(5:44)
You who believe! Do not take the Jews and Christians as your friends;
they are the friends of one another. Any of you who takes them as friends
is one of them. Allah does not guide wrongdoing people. (5:51)
The Jews say, 'Allah's hand is chained.' Their hands are chained and
they are cursed for what they say! No! Both His hands are open wide and
He gives however He wills. What has been sent down to you from your Lord
increases many of them in insolence and disbelief. We have incited enmity
and hatred between them until the Day of Rising. Each time they kindle
the fire of war, Allah extinguishes it. They rush about the earth corrupting
it. Allah does not love corrupters. (5:64)
Those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabaeans and the Christians,
all who believe in Allah and the Last Day and act rightly will feel no
fear and will know no sorrow. (5:69)
You will find that the people most hostile to those who believe are the
Jews and the idolaters. You will find the people most affectionate to
those who believe are those who say, 'We are Christians.' That is because
some of them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.
(5:82)
We made forbidden for the Jews every animal with an undivided hoof, and
in respect of cattle and sheep, We made their fat forbidden for them,
except what is attached to their backs or guts or mixed up with bone.
That is how We repaid them for their insolence. And We certainly speak
the truth. (6:146)
The Jews say, ''Uzayr is the son of Allah,' and the Christians say, 'The
Messiah is the son of Allah.' That is what they say with their mouths,
copying the words of those who disbelieved before. Allah fight them! How
perverted they are! (9:30)
We forbade the Jews those things We told you about before. We did not
wrong them; rather they wronged themselves. (16:118)
As for those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabaeans and
the Christians, Magians and idolaters, Allah will distinguish between
them on the Day of Rising. Allah is witness of all things. (22:17)
Say: 'You Jews, if you claim to be the friends of Allah to the exclusion
of all other people, then wish for death if you are telling the truth.'
(62:6)
JEWELLERY
He sends down water from the sky and river-beds fill up and flow according
to their size, and the floodwater carries with it an increasing layer
of scum; a similar kind of scum comes from what you heat up in the fire,
when you desire to make jewellery or other things. That is how Allah depicts
the true and the false. As for the scum, it is quickly swept away. But
as for that which is of use to people, it remains behind in the ground.
That is a metaphor which Allah has made. (13:17)
They said, 'We did not break our promise to you of our own volition.
But we were weighed down with the heavy loads of the people's jewelry
and we threw them in, for that is what the Samaritan did.' (20:87)
JIBRIL (SEE GABRIEL)
JIHAD (SEE STRIVING IN THE WAY OF ALLAH;
SEE FIGHTING)
JINN
Yet they make the jinn co-partners with Allah when He created them! And
they attribute sons and daughters to Him without any knowledge. Glory
be to Him! He is far above what they describe! (6:100)
In this way We have appointed as enemies to every Prophet Satans from
both mankind and from the jinn, who inspire each other with delusions
by means of specious words-if your Lord had willed, they would not have
done it, so abandon them and all they fabricate. (6:112)
On the Day We gather them all together: 'Company of jinn, you gained
many followers among mankind.' And their friends among mankind will say,
'Our Lord, we benefited from one another, and now we have reached the
term which You determined for us.' He will say, 'The Fire is your home.
You will be in it timelessly, for ever, except as Allah wills. Your Lord
is All-Wise, All-Knowing.' (6:128)
Company of jinn and men! Did not Messengers come to you from among yourselves
relating My Signs to you and warning you of the encounter of this Day
of yours? They will say, 'We testify against ourselves.' The life of this
world deluded them and they will testify against themselves that they
were disbelievers. (6:130)
He will say, 'Enter the Fire together with the nations of jinn and men
who have passed away before you.' Each time a nation enters, it will curse
its sister nation, until, when they are all gathered together in it, the
last of them will say to the first, 'Our Lord, those are the ones who
misguided us, so give them a double punishment in the Fire.' He will say,
'Each will receive double. But you do not know it.' (7:38)
We created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts they
do not understand with. They have eyes they do not see with. They have
ears they do not hear with. Such people are like cattle. No, they are
even further astray! They are the unaware. (7:179)
If your Lord had wanted to, He would have made mankind into one community
but they persist in their differences, except for those your Lord has
mercy on. That is what He created them for-so that the Word of your Lord
would be fulfilled: 'I will fill up Hell with the jinn and mankind all
together.' (11:118-119)
We created the jinn before out of the fire of a searing wind. (15:27)
Say: 'If both men and jinn banded together to produce the like of this
Qur'an, they could never produce anything like it, even if they backed
each other up.' (17:88)
When We said to the angels, 'Prostrate yourselves to Adam,' they prostrated
with the exception of Diabolis. He was one of the jinn and wantonly deviated
from his Lord's command. Do you take him and his offspring as protectors
apart from Me when they are your enemy? How evil is the exchange the wrongdoers
make! (18:50)
Sulayman's troops, made up of jinn and men and birds, were assembled
for him, paraded in tight ranks. (27:17)
A demon of the jinn said, 'I will bring it to you before you get up from
your seat. I am strong and trustworthy enough to do it.' (27:39)
'Had We so willed We could have given guidance to everyone, but now My
Words are shown to be true: that I shall fill up Hell entirely with jinn
and human beings.' (32:13)
And We gave Sulayman power over the wind-a month's journey in the morning
and a month in the afternoon. And We made a fount of molten brass flow
out for him. And some of the jinn worked in front of him by his Lord's
permission. And if a single one of them deviates at all from Our command,
We let him taste the punishment of the Searing Blaze. (34:12)
Then when We decreed that he (Sulayman) should die, nothing divulged
his death to them except the worm which ate his staff; so that when he
fell down it was made clear to the jinn that if they had truly had knowledge
of the Unseen they need not have stayed there suffering humiliating punishment.
(34:14)
They will say, 'Glory be to You! You are our Protector, not them. No,
they were worshipping the jinn. They mostly had faith in them.' (34:41)
They claim there is a blood-tie between Him and the jinn but the jinn
know very well that they will be arraigned. (37:158)
We have assigned close comrades to them who have made what is before
them and behind them seem good to them. And the statement about the nations,
both of jinn and men, who passed away before them has proved true of them
as well. Certainly they were lost. (41:25)
Those who disbelieve say, 'Our Lord, show us those jinn and men who misguided
us and we will place them beneath our feet so that they will be among
the lowest of the low.' (41:29)
Those are people of whom the statement about the nations, both of jinn
and men, who passed away before them, has also proved true; truly they
were the lost. (46:18)
And We diverted a group of jinn towards you to listen to the Qur'an.
When they were in earshot of it they said, 'Be quiet and listen.' When
it was over they went back to their people, warning them. They said, 'Our
people, we have heard a Book which was sent down after Musa, confirming
what came before it, guiding to the truth and to a straight path.' (46:29-30)
I only created jinn and man to worship Me. (51:56)
And He created the jinn from a fusion of fire. (55:15)
Company of jinn and men, if you are able to pierce through the confines
of the heavens and earth, pierce through them. You will not pierce through
except with a clear authority. (55:33)
That Day no man or jinn will be asked about his sin. (55:39)
In them are maidens with eyes for them alone, untouched before them by
either man or jinn. (55:56)
(Maidens) untouched before them by either man or jinn. (55:74)
Say: 'It has been revealed to me that a band of the jinn listened and
said, "We have heard a most amazing Recitation. It leads to right guidance
so we believe in it and will not associate anyone with our Lord. He-exalted
be the Majesty of our Lord!-has neither wife nor son. The fools among
us have uttered a vile slander against Allah. We did not think it possible
for either man or jinn to tell a lie against Allah. Certain men from among
mankind used to seek refuge with certain men from among the jinn but they
increased them in wickedness. They thought-as you also think-that Allah
would never raise up anyone. We tried, as usual, to travel to heaven in
search of news but found it filled with fierce guards and meteors. We
used to sit there on special seats to listen in. But anyone listening
now finds a fiery meteor in wait for him. We have no idea whether evil
is intended for those on the earth, or whether their Lord intends them
to be rightly guided. Among us there are some who are righteous and some
who are other than that. We follow many different paths. We realised we
would never thwart Allah on earth and would never thwart Him by flight,
and when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. Anyone who believes
in his Lord need fear neither belittlement nor tyranny. Some of us are
Muslims and some are deviators. Those who have become Muslim are those
who sought right guidance; the deviators will be firewood for Hellfire."'
(72:1-15)
Say: 'I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the
God of mankind, from the evil of the insidious whisperer who whispers
in people's breasts and comes from the jinn and from mankind.' (114:1-6)

JOURNEY
(Fasting is prescribed) for a specified number of days. But any of you
who are ill or on a journey should fast a number of other days. For those
who can (scarcely) afford it, making up for it means feeding a poor man.
And if someone does good of his own accord, it is better for him. But
that you should fast is better for you, if you only knew. (2:184)
If you are on a journey and cannot find a writer, something can be left
as a security. If you leave things on trust with one another the one who
is trusted must deliver up his trust and have fear of Allah his Lord.
Do not conceal testimony. If someone does conceal it, his heart commits
a crime. Allah knows what you do. (2:283)
You who believe! Do not approach the prayer when you are drunk, so that
you will know what you are saying, nor in a state of major impurity-unless
you are travelling-until you have washed yourselves completely. If you
are ill or on a journey, or any of you have come from the lavatory or
touched women, and you cannot find any water, then take for yourselves
clean earth, wiping your faces and your hands. Allah is Ever-Pardoning,
Ever-Forgiving. (4:43)
You who believe! When you get up to perform prayer, wash your faces and
your hands and your arms to the elbows, and wipe over your heads, and
(wash) your feet to the ankles. If you are in a state of major impurity,
then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey, or have come
from the lavatory, or have touched women, and cannot find any water, then
take for yourselves clean earth, and wipe your faces and your hands therewith.
Allah does not want to make things difficult for you, but He does want
to purify you and to perfect His blessing upon you so that hopefully you
will be thankful. (5:6)
JOY
(Believers are) those who say, 'Our Lord, give us joy in our wives and
children and make us a good example for those who guard against evil';
(25:74)
As for those who believed and did right actions, they will be made joyful
in a verdant meadow. (30:15)
The Companions of the Garden are busy enjoying themselves today, (36:55)
'Enter the Garden, you and your wives, delighting in your joy.' (43:70)
So Allah has safeguarded them from the evil of that Day and has made
them meet with radiance and pure joy. (76:11)
As for him who is given his Book in his right hand, he will be given
an easy reckoning and return to his family joyfully. (84:7-9)
He used to be joyful in his family. (84:13)
JUDGE
Do not devour one another's property by false means nor offer it to the
judges as a bribe, trying through crime to knowingly usurp a portion of
other people's property. (2:188)
Do you not see those who have been given a portion of the Book being
invited to let Allah's Book be the judge between them? But then a group
of them turn away. (3:23)
No, by your Lord, they are not believers until they make you their judge
in the disputes that break out between them, and then find no resistance
within themselves to what you decide and submit themselves completely.
(4:65)
How can they make you their judge when they have the Torah with them
which contains the judgement of Allah? Then even after that they turn
their backs! Such people are certainly not believers. (5:43)
'Am I to desire someone other than Allah as a judge when it is He Who
has sent down the Book to you clarifying everything?' Those We have given
the Book know it has been sent down from your Lord with truth, so on no
account be among the doubters. (6:114)
(Shu'ayb said to his people,) 'There is a group of you who believe in
what I have been sent with and a group who do not, so be steadfast until
Allah judges between us. He is the best of judges.' (7:87)
(Shu'ayb said,) 'We would be inventing lies against Allah if we returned
to your religion after Allah has saved us from it. We could never return
to it unless Allah our Lord so willed. Our Lord encompasses everything
in His knowledge. We have put our trust in Allah. Our Lord, judge between
us and our people with truth. You are the best of judges.' (7:89)
Follow what has been revealed to you and be steadfast until Allah's judgement
comes. He is the Best of Judges. (10:109)
Nuh called out to his Lord and said, 'My Lord, my son is one of my family
and Your promise is surely the truth and You are the Justest of Judges.'
(11:45)
When they despaired of him, they went apart to talk alone. The eldest
of them (Yusuf's brothers) said, 'You know full well your father had you
make a covenant with Allah concerning this, and how before you failed
him with Yusuf. I will not leave this land until I have permission from
my father, or Allah decides about the case on my behalf. Truly He is the
justest Judge of all.' (12:80)
Is Allah not the Justest of Judges? (95:8)
TO JUDGE
The Jews say, 'The Christians have nothing to stand on,' and the Christians
say, 'The Jews have nothing to stand on,' yet they both recite the Book.
Those who do not know say the same as they say. Allah will judge between
them on the Day of Rising regarding the things about which they differ.
(2:113)
When Allah said, ''Isa, I will take you back and raise you up to Me and
purify you of those who disbelieve. And I will place the people who follow
you above those who disbelieve until the Day of Rising. Then you will
all return to Me, and I will judge between you regarding the things about
which you differed.' (3:55)
Allah commands you to return to their owners the things you hold on trust
and, when you judge between people, to judge with justice. How excellent
is what Allah exhorts you to do! Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. (4:58)
We have sent down the Book to you with the truth so that you can judge
between people according to what Allah has shown to you. But do not be
an advocate for the treacherous. (4:105)
Those who anticipate the worst for you say, 'Were we not with you?' whenever
you gain a victory from Allah, but if the disbelievers have a success
they say, 'Did we not have the upper hand over you and yet in spite of
that keep the believers away from you?' Allah will judge between you on
the Day of Rising. Allah will not give the disbelievers any way against
the believers. (4:141)
They are people who listen to lies and consume ill-gotten gains. If they
come to you, you can either judge between them or turn away from them.
If you turn away from them, they cannot harm you in any way. But if you
do judge, judge between them justly. Allah loves the just. (5:42)
We sent down the Torah containing guidance and light, and the Prophets
who had submitted themselves gave judgement by it for the Jews-as did
their scholars and their rabbis-by what they had been allowed to preserve
of Allah's Book to which they were witnesses. Do not be afraid of people,
be afraid of Me. And do not sell My Signs for a paltry price. Those who
do not judge by what Allah has sent down, such people are disbelievers.
(5:44)
We prescribed for them in it: a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a
nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and retaliation
for wounds. But if anyone forgoes that as a charity, it will act as expiation
for him. Those who do not judge by what Allah has sent down, such people
are wrongdoers. (5:45)
The people of the Gospel should judge by what Allah sent down in it.
Those who do not judge by what Allah has sent down, such people are deviators.
(5:47)
And We have sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming and conserving
the previous Books. So judge between them by what Allah has sent down
and do not follow their whims and desires deviating from the Truth that
has come to you. We have appointed a law and a practice for every one
of you. Had Allah willed, He would have made you a single community, but
He wanted to test you regarding what has come to you. So compete with
each other in doing good. Every one of you will return to Allah and He
will inform you regarding the things about which you differed. ( 5:48)
(Shu'ayb said to his people,) 'There is a group of you who believe in
what I have been sent with and a group who do not, so be steadfast until
Allah judges between us. He is the best of judges.' (7:87)
(Shu'ayb said,) 'We would be inventing lies against Allah if we returned
to your religion after Allah has saved us from it. We could never return
to it unless Allah our Lord so willed. Our Lord encompasses everything
in His knowledge. We have put our trust in Allah. Our Lord, judge between
us and our people with truth. You are the best of judges.' ( 7:89)
Do they not see how We come to the land eroding it at its extremities?
Allah judges and there is no reversing His judgement. He is swift at reckoning.
(13:41)
The Sabbath was only enjoined on those who differed about it. Your Lord
will judge between them on the Day of Rising regarding the things about
which they differed. (16:124)
Say: 'Lord, judge with truth! Our Lord is the All-Merciful, the One Whose
help is sought in the face of what you describe.' (21:112)
Sovereignty on that Day will be Allah's. He will judge between them.
Those who believe and do right actions will be in Gardens of Delight.
(22:56)
Allah will judge between you on the Day of Rising regarding everything
about which you differed. (22:69)
When they are summoned to Allah and His Messenger, so that he can judge
between them, a group of them immediately turn away. (24:48)
The reply of the believers when they are summoned to Allah and His Messenger
so that he can judge between them, is to say, 'We hear and we obey.' They
are ones who are successful. (24:51)
Say: 'Our Lord will bring us all together and then will judge between
us with the truth. He is the Just Decider, the All-Knowing.' (34:26)
And (litigants) came in on Dawud who was alarmed by them. They said,
'Do not be afraid. We are two litigants, one of whom has acted unjustly
towards the other, so judge between us with truth and do not be unjust
and guide us to the Right Path.' (38:22)
(We said), 'Dawud! We have made you a successor on the earth, so judge
between people with truth and do not follow your own desires, letting
them misguide you from the Way of Allah. Those who are misguided from
the Way of Allah will receive a harsh punishment because they forgot the
Day of Reckoning.' (38:26)
Indeed is the sincere religion not Allah's alone? If people take protectors
besides Him-'We only worship them so that they may bring us nearer to
Allah'-Allah will judge between them regarding the things about which
they differed. Allah does not guide anyone who is an ungrateful liar.
(39:3)
Say: 'O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the
Unseen and the Visible, You will judge between Your servants regarding
what they differed about.' (39:46)
Allah will judge with truth; and those you call upon apart from Him will
not judge with anything at all. It is Allah Who is the All-Hearing, the
All-Seeing. (40:20)
You who believe! When women who believe come to you as emigrants, submit
them to a test. Allah has best knowledge of their faith. If you know they
are believers, do not return them to the disbelievers. They are not lawful
for the disbelievers nor are the disbelievers lawful for them. Give the
disbelievers whatever dowry they paid. And there is nothing wrong in your
marrying them provided you pay them their due. Do not hold to any marriage
ties with women who disbelieve. Ask for what you paid and let them ask
for what they paid. That is Allah's judgement. Allah will judge between
them. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (60:10)
JUDGEMENT
They are the ones to whom We gave the Book, Judgement and Prophethood.
If these people reject it We have already entrusted it to a people who
did not. (6:89)
'Yahya, take hold of the Book with vigour.' We gave him judgement while
still a child. (19:12)
(Musa said to Pharaoh,) 'And so I fled from you when I was in fear of
you but my Lord gave me right judgement and made me one of the Messengers.'
(26:21)
(Ibrahim said,) 'My Lord, give me right judgement and unite me with the
righteous.' (26:83)
And when he (Musa) reached his full strength and maturity, We gave him
judgement and knowledge. That is how We recompense good-doers. (28:14)
AL-JUDI (SEE MOUNT AL-JUDI)
JUMU'A (SEE FRIDAY)
JUSTICE
It is prescribed for you, when death approaches one of you and if he
has some goods to leave, to make a will in favour of his parents and relatives,
correctly and fairly: a duty for all those who guard against evil. (2:180)
You who believe! When you take on a debt for a specified period, write
it down. A writer should write it down between you justly. No writer should
refuse to write; as Allah has taught him, so he should write. The one
incurring the debt should dictate and should have fear of Allah his Lord
and not reduce it in any way. If the person incurring the debt is incompetent
or weak or unable to dictate, then his guardian should dictate for him
justly. Two men among you should act as witnesses. But if there are not
two men, then a man and two women with whom you are satisfied as witnesses;
then if one of them forgets, the other can remind her. Witnesses should
not refuse when they are called upon. Do not think it too trivial to write
down, whether small or large, with the date that it falls due. Doing that
is more just in Allah's sight and more helpful when bearing witness and
more likely to eliminate any doubt-unless it is an immediate transaction
hand to hand, taken and given without delay. There is nothing wrong in
your not writing that down. Call witnesses when you trade. Neither writer
nor witness should be put under pressure. If you do that, it is deviancy
on your part. Have fear of Allah and Allah will give you knowledge. Allah
has knowledge of all things. (2:282)
Allah bears witness that there is no god but Him, as do the angels and
the people of knowledge, upholding justice. There is no god but Him, the
Almighty, the All-Wise. (3:18)
As for those who reject Allah's Signs, and kill the Prophets without
any right to do so, and kill those who command justice, give them news
of a painful punishment. (3:21)
If you are afraid of not behaving justly towards orphans, then marry
other permissible women, two, three or four. But if you are afraid of
not treating them equally, then only one, or those you own as slaves.
That makes it more likely that you will not be unfair. (4:3)
Allah commands you to return to their owners the things you hold on trust
and, when you judge between people, to judge with justice. How excellent
is what Allah exhorts you to do! Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. (4:58)
They request from you a ruling concerning women. Say, 'Allah gives you
a ruling about them; and also what is recited to you in the Book about
orphan girls to whom you do not give the inheritance they are owed, while
at the same time desiring to marry them; and also about young children
who are denied their rights: that you should act justly with respect to
orphans.' Whatever good you do, Allah knows it. (4:127)
You will not be able to be completely fair between your wives, however
hard you try. But do not be completely partial so as to leave a wife,
as it were, suspended in mid-air. And if you make amends and guard against
evil, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (4:129)
You who believe! Be upholders of justice, bearing witness for Allah alone,
even against yourselves or your parents and relatives. Whether they are
rich or poor, Allah is well able to look after them. Do not follow your
own desires and deviate from the truth. If you twist or turn away, Allah
is aware of what you do. (4:135)
You who believe! Show integrity for the sake of Allah, bearing witness
with justice. Do not let hatred for a people incite you into not being
just. Be just. That is closer to heedfulness. Have fear of Allah. Allah
is aware of what you do. (5:8)
They are people who listen to lies and consume ill-gotten gains. If they
come to you, you can either judge between them or turn away from them.
If you turn away from them, they cannot harm you in any way. But if you
do judge, judge between them justly. Allah loves the just. (5:42)
You who believe! Do not kill game while you are in the state of pilgrimage.
If one of you kills any deliberately, the reprisal for it is a livestock
animal equivalent to what he killed, as judged by two just men among you,
a sacrifice to reach the Kaaba, or expiation by feeding the poor, or fasting
commensurate with that, so that he may taste the evil consequences of
what he did. Allah has pardoned all that took place in the past; but if
anyone does it again Allah will take revenge on him. Allah is Almighty,
Exactor of Revenge. (5:95)
You who believe! When one of you is near to death and makes a will, two
just men from among you should act as witnesses; or, if you are travelling
when the misfortune of death occurs, two men who are strangers to you.
You should detain them after prayer and, if you are doubtful, they should
swear by Allah: 'We will not sell it for any price, even to a near relative,
and we will not conceal the testimony of Allah. If we did we would indeed
be wrongdoers.' (5:106)
The Words of your Lord are perfect in truthfulness and justice. No one
can change His Words. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. (6:115)
And that you do not go near the property of orphans before they reach
maturity-except in a good way; that you give full measure and full weight
with justice-We impose on no self any more than it can bear; that you
are equitable when you speak-even if a near relative is concerned; and
that you fulfil Allah's contract. That is what He instructs you to do,
so that hopefully you will pay heed. (6:152)
Say: 'My Lord has commanded justice. Stand and face Him in every mosque
and call on Him, making your religion sincerely His. As He originated
you, so you will return.' (7:29)
Among the people of Musa there is a group who guide by the truth and
act justly in accordance with it. (7:159)
Among those We have created there is a community who guide by the Truth
and act justly according to it. (7:181)
Each and every one of you will return to Him. Allah's promise is true.
He brings creation out of nothing and then regenerates it so that he can
repay with justice those who believed and did right actions. Those who
disbelieved will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment
because of their disbelief. (10:4)
Every nation has a Messenger and when their Messenger comes everything
is decided between them justly. They are not wronged. (10:47)
If every self that did wrong possessed everything on earth, it would
offer it as a ransom. They will show remorse when they see the punishment.
Everything will be decided between them justly. They will not be wronged.
(10:54)
My people! Give full measure and full weight with justice; do not diminish
people's goods; and do not go about the earth, corrupting it. (11:85)
Allah makes another metaphor: two men, one of them deaf and dumb, unable
to do anything, a burden on his master, no matter where he directs him
he brings no good, is he the same as someone who commands justice and
is on a straight path? (16:76)
Allah commands justice and doing good and giving to relatives. And He
forbids indecency and doing wrong and tyranny. He warns you so that hopefully
you will pay heed. (16:90)
Those who disbelieve say, 'This is nothing but a lie he has invented
and other people have helped him to do it. They have brought injustice
and falsehood.' (25:4)
Call them after their fathers. That is closer to justice in Allah's sight.
And if you do not know who their fathers were then they are your brothers
in the religion and people under your patronage. You are not to blame
for any honest mistake you make but only for what your hearts premeditate.
Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (33:5)
Every self will be repaid today for what it earned. Today there will
be no injustice. Allah is swift at reckoning. (40:17)
The man who believed said, 'My people! I fear for you a day like that
of the Confederates, the same as happened to the people of Nuh and 'Ad
and Thamud and those who followed after them. Allah does not want any
injustice for His servants.' (40:30-31)
So call and go straight as you have been ordered to. Do not follow their
whims and desires but say, 'I believe in a Book sent down by Allah and
I am ordered to be just between you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord.
We have our actions and you have your actions. There is no debate between
us and you. Allah will gather us all together. He is our final destination.'
(42:15)
If two parties of the believers fight, make peace between them. But if
one of them attacks the other unjustly, fight the attackers until they
revert to Allah's command. If they revert, make peace between them with
justice, and be even-handed. Allah loves those who are even-handed. (49:9)
Give just weight-do not skimp in the balance. (55:9)
We sent Our Messengers with the Clear Signs and sent down the Book and
the Balance with them so that mankind might establish justice. And We
sent down iron in which there lies great force and which has many uses
for mankind, so that Allah might know those who help Him and His Messengers
in the Unseen. Allah is All-Strong, Almighty. (57:25)
Allah does not forbid you from being good to those who have not fought
you in the religion or driven you from your homes, or from being just
towards them. Allah loves those who are just. (60:8)
