Juz 6: Justice over | Taqwa | Sincerity in the religion

- Justice Over Personal Bias: Always strive to be just, even towards those you love or dislike. Your emotions should not dictate your sense of justice.
- Allah is aware of your intentions and actions, both in public and private. This awareness should guide your behaviour and ensure you act justly, regardless of your circumstances or power dynamics.
- As Muslims, it is our duty to speak out against injustice, regardless of who is involved. Justice should be upheld in society, and individuals must not remain silent in the face of wrongdoing .
- 5:18 -Justice is a fundamental principle that applies universally, regardless of personal identity or affiliations. Be cautious of arrogance and the belief that one's identity alone grants immunity from justice. True virtue lies in actions and adherence to the principles of justice, not merely in labels or group affiliations . Simply identifying as a Muslim does not exempt one from accountability for their actions on the day of judgment.
