community who guide by the Truth and act justly according
to it." (Surat al-A‘raf, 181), throughout history there have been
times when justice prevailed. The prophets and numerous just
leaders who followed in their footsteps established peaceful
societies, thereby creating a role model for the world to
emulate. Both the Seljuk Turks and the Ottoman Empire
ensured the co-existence of people of different religions and
nations under one flag. Muslim Turks were known for their
justice in the lands they ruled. Due to their merciful, peaceable
and compassionate attitudes, they were received with joy by
the natives of conquered lands.
The purpose of this book is to describe the justice in the
Qur'an. Yet bear in mind that to attain such a peaceable life
and one full of trust, you must also make your own efforts. For
a peaceful life which will also secure a just and secure
environment for the next generation, you, more than anyone
else, must administer your own justice and thus become a role
model for others. There is an opportunity ahead to be one of
those who "command justice." (Surah Al ‘Imran, 21) Never
forget that "... Allah loves the just." ( Surat al-Ma'ida, 42)
