The Quran and Justice

The Qur’an and Justice:
.
The Qur’an teaches that judgement and punishment ultimately belongs to God. 
However, God demands all people show justice and mercy to all other people.
.
Teachings:
‘Stand up firmly for justice, as a witness to God, even as against yourselves or your parents or your kin, and whether it be against rich or poor.’ Surah 4:135
Meaning justice is for all. Everyone should put justice first, even before their family.
.
‘If anyone does evil or wrongs his own soul, but afterwards seeks God’s 
forgiveness, he will find Him most forgiving and merciful.’ Surah 4:110
Meaning Allah is merciful to those who seek His forgiveness.
.
‘My Lord hath commanded justice.’ Surah 7:29
Meaning justice is an central part of God’s character.
.
‘Act against those who oppress people and transgress (sin) against justice. 
They will have an agonizing punishment - though, if a person is patient and forgives, this is one of the greatest things.’ Surah
42:42-43
Meaning Muslims should act against injustice. However, for a victim to forgive a person’s injustice, is far better.
