Khalilah Sabra | Islam, Justice, Human Rights | 15th MAS ICNA Convention

[O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted.] [4:135]
What is the basic understanding of justice in Islam? Are we, as Muslims, practicing the true meaning of justice in Islam? How does Islam look at and deal with the issue of human rights? What are the rules of what we can and what we cannot support when it comes to human rights?
