warns believers against it:
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. (Surat al- Ma‘ida; 8)
In compliance with the verse, Muslims never commit injus-
tice to any individual or society because of kinship, resent-
ment or out of personal interests. No matter what someone’s
belief, ideology or philosophy may be, or how hostile his atti-
tude to Muslims, a true believer always treats him with jus-
tice. He is not moved by emotion toward unfair decisions, and
even when contrary to his own interests, he does not conceal
or distort the truth.

We have sent you with the truth bringing good news
and giving warning. There is no community to which
a warner has not come. (Surah Fatir; 24)
