The Path Of Justice


The Jews, inspite of their hostility to the Prophet (saws), were so impressed by his impartiality and sense of justice that they used to bring their cases to him, and he decided them according to Jewish law.

[Abu Dawood]

Explanation : The Prophet (saws) asked people to be just and kind. As the supreme judge and arbiter, as the leader of men , as generalissimo (head commander and chief) of a rising power, as a reformer and apostle, he had always to deal with men and their affairs. He had often t deal with mutually inimical and warring tribes, when showing justice to one carried the danger of anatagonizing the other , and yet he never deviated from the path of justice. In administering justice, he made no dsitinction between believers and nonbelievers, friends and foes, high and low.
