“God commands you to return that which had been entrusted to you to the rightful owners.
Be just when passing judgement among people. God’s advice is the most noble. He sees and
hears everything.” (4:58, Translation from the Quran)
“One who makes a mistake or commits a sin and ascribes it to an innocent person, he only
burdens himself with slander and a grave sin.” (4:112, Translation from the Quran)
“You, who believe, be maintainers of justice, witnesses for Allah, even though it be against
yourselves or (your) parents or (your) near relatives, whether (the case be of) a rich or a poor,
for Allah is nearer unto both (than you are). Therefore, do not follow (your) low desires, lest
you deviate, and if you swerve or turn aside, then surely Allah is Ever-Aware of what you do.”
(4:135, Translation from the Quran)
“You who believe, be upright for Allah, bearers of witness with justice, and let not hatred of
a people incite you not to deal justly. Deal justly — that is nearer to piety, and be careful of
(your duty toward) Allah; surely Allah is Ever-Aware of what you do.” (5:8, Translation from
the Quran)
“On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person – unless
it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land – it would be as if he slew the whole
people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people.”
(5:32, Translation from the Quran)
“…if you judge, judge between them with justice…” (5:42, Translation from the Quran)
“Obey God and the Messenger and be cautious (of the harmful things). If you turn away
(from our laws), know that the duty of the Messenger is only to preach in clear words.”
(5:92, Translation from the Quran)
“Say: The bad and the good are not equal, though the abundance of the bad may please you;
so be careful of (your duty to) Allah, O men of understanding, that you may be successful.”
(5:100, Translation from the Quran)
