As I said earlier .. when he addresses me personally .. I do not need
to respond .. in the end will have us talk to nothing ..
All I want to point out true Islam .. Not that you see in the media of
distortion
Justice in Islam
Islam provides many human rights for the individual. The following are
some of these human rights that Islam protects.
The life and property of all citizens in an Islamic state are
considered sacred, whether a person is Muslim or not. Islam also
protects honor. So, in Islam, insulting others or making fun of them
is not allowed. The Prophet Muhammad said: {Truly your blood, your
property, and your honor are inviolable.}
Racism is not allowed in Islam, for the Quran speaks of human equality
in the following terms:
O mankind, We have created you from a male and a female and have made
you into nations and tribes for you to know one another. Truly, the
noblest of you with God is the most pious. Truly, God is All-Knowing,
All-Aware. (Quran, 49:13)
Islam rejects certain individuals or nations being favored because of
their wealth, power, or race. God created human beings as equals who
are to be distinguished from each other only on the basis of their
faith and piety. The Prophet Muhammad said: {O people! Your God is one
and your forefather (Adam) is one. An Arab is not better than a non-
Arab and a non-Arab is not better than an Arab, and a red (i.e. white
tinged with red) person is not better than a black person and a black
person is not better than a red person, except in piety.}
One of the major problems facing mankind today is racism. The
developed world can send a man to the moon but cannot stop man from
hating and fighting his fellow man. Ever since the days of the Prophet
Muhammad , Islam has provided a vivid example of how racism can be
ended. The annual pilgrimage (Hajj) to Makkah shows the real Islamic
brotherhood of all races and nations, when about two million Muslims
from all over the world come to Makkah to perform the pilgrimage.
Islam is a religion of justice. God has said:
Truly God commands you to give back trusts to those to whom they are
due, and when you judge between people, to judge with justice....
(Quran, 4:58)
And He has said:
...And act justly. Truly, God loves those who are just. (Quran, 49:9)
We should even be just with those who we hate, as God has said:
...And let not the hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just:
that is nearer to piety.... (Quran, 5:8)
The Prophet Muhammad said: {People, beware of injustice, for injustice
shall be darkness on the Day of Judgment.}
And those who have not gotten their rights (i.e. what they have a just
claim to) in this life will receive them on the Day of Judgment, as
the Prophet said: {On the Day of Judgment,
rights will be given to those to whom they are due (and wrongs will be
redressed
