Al-'Adl
The
Just
Behold,
God enjoins justice, and the doing of good, and generosity
towards one's fellow-men; and He forbids all that is shameful
and all that runs counter to reason, as well as envy; and He
exhorts you repeatedly so that you might bear all this in mind.
An-Nahl
16:90, tr. Muhammad Asad
O
God, help me against this self of mine
that is seeking help from You; I seek justice from no one but
from this justice-seeking self. I shall not get justice from any
one except from
Him who is nearer to me than myself;
For this I-ness comes moment by moment from Him.
Rumi, Mathnawi I:2195-2198, tr. Helminski |
