Have you ever been in a situation where telling the truth was difficult? Maybe you felt pressured to defend a friend or family member even when they were wrong. Allah commands us to always stand for justice, even if it’s against ourselves or those we love.
In Surah An-Nisa (4:135), Allah says:
“Those of you who believe, uphold justice and be witnesses to Allah, even if it is against yourself, your parents, or your relatives. Whether a person is rich or poor, Allah is close to both of them. Do not follow temptations in case you follow a wrong path. Whether you distort the truth, or stop yourself from it, Allah is fully aware of what you do.”
Justice comes before personal feelings. We should speak the truth, even if it’s against our own family or friends.
We must be fair to everyone—rich or poor. Wealth and status should not affect how we judge or treat others.
Desires can lead us away from justice. Whether it’s fear, loyalty, money, popularity, or bias, we must be careful to be fair.
Allah knows everything. Even if we try to hide the truth, Allah is aware of our intentions.
Always tell the truth. Even when it’s hard, honesty brings peace and justice.
Treat everyone fairly. Whether someone is rich, poor, close to us, or a stranger, justice must be the same for all.
Don’t let emotions cloud your judgment. Whether out of love, anger, or fear, never let personal feelings make you unfair.
This verse reminds us that justice is a core value in Islam. If we always stand for truth and fairness, we build a world where people can trust each other and live in peace. And when we do what is right, Allah is always on our side.
