Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)      39


               You who have faith! 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. (Surat an-Nisa': 135)
               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. (Surat an-Nahl: 90)

               In a society where people have an understanding of justice as
            described in the aforementioned verse, injustice does not prevail. That is
            because in an environment where the values of the Qur'an and the
            Sunnah are observed, the strict exercise of justice is essential. In the
            practice of this justice, one's kinship, wealth, status or other factors allow
            for no exceptions. Nevertheless, current implementations of systems of
            justice around the globe are rather varied. In some cases, in consideration
            of someone's wealth, status and social environment, his crimes are simply
            ignored or his punishment is alleviated or minimized. This is unlikely to
            happen in a society where real justice prevails. Factors such as kinship,
            wealth or status never become reasons to deviate from justice.

                                                                    Swindling,
                                                                    corruption and
                                                                    theft may become
                                                                    a way of life for a
                                                                    person who does
                                                                    not live by the
                                                                    Qur'an and he
                                                                    may feel no pangs
                                                                    of conscience
                                                                    while engaging in
                                                                    wicked deeds.
