25.1 Allah commands justice for all
O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah, as
witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of
others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart
from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear Allah,
for Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do.
Ch 5: V9
25.2 No one should be ill-treated or subjected to
injustice in any way
Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and giving
to family and relatives, and He forbids all shameful
actions, and injustice and rebellion: He instructs you,
that you may be mindful.
Ch 16: V90
25.3 Restore the rights of others
Allah does command you to render back your trusts
to those to whom they are due; and when you judge
between man and man, that you judge with justice:
Verily, how excellent is the teaching which He gives
you! For Allah is He who hears and sees all things.
Ch 4: V 58
25.4 No gender, race or tribe is superior to others
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a
male and a female, and made you into nations and
tribes, that you may know each other (not that you may
despise each other). Verily the most honoured of you
in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous
of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well
acquainted (with all things).
Ch 49: V13
25.5 Protect property of orphans (and other vulnerable
groups)
Assess the orphans when they reach the age of
marriage; if then you find mental maturity in them,
release their property to them; but consume it not
wastefully, nor in haste against their growing up. If
the guardian is rich, let him claim no payment, but if
he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and
reasonable. When you hand over their property to
them, take witnesses in their presence: but all-sufficient
is Allah in taking account.
Ch 4: V 6
25.6 Freedom of religion
Let there be no compulsion in religion: truth stands out
clear from error: Whoever rejects evil and believes in
Allah has grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that
never breaks, and Allah hears and knows all things.
Ch 2: V 256
25.7 Protecting the oppressed is a duty
And why should you not fight in the cause of Allah
and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and
oppressed)? Men, women and children, whose cry is:
“Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people
are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will
protect; and raise for us from You one who will help!”
Ch 4: V 75
25.8 Granting of asylum is recommended
If one amongst the pagans (with whom you are at war)
ask you for asylum, grant it to him, so that he may hear
the word of Allah, and then escort him to where he
can be secure. That is because they are men without
knowledge.
Ch 9: V6
