The concept of justice in Islam is clearly defined and protects the life, property and honour of all citizens of an Islamic state, regardless whether a citizen is a Muslim or a non-Muslim. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said, "Truly, your blood, your property and your honour are inviolable."
Of human equality the Quran speaks, "O' Mankind we have created you from a male and female and have made you in nations and tribes for you to know one and other." Truly, noblest of you with God is the most pious. Truly, God is all knowing all aware (Quran-49:13), and the Holy Prophet (PBUH) said in this regard, "O' people! Your God is one and your forefather (Adam) is one. An Arab is not better than non-Arab and non-Arab is not better than an Arab. A red (white tinged with red) person is not better than black person and a black person is not better than a red person except piety".
The Quran says, "Truly God commands you to give back trust to those to whom they are due and when you judge people to judge with justice" (Quran 4:58), and still further, "And act justly, truly, God loves those who are just (Quran 48:9)".
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said, "People beware of injustice for injustice shall be darkness on the Day of Judgment. On the Day of Judgment rights will be given to those to whom they are due and wrongs will be redressed".
In the light of these verses and sayings of the Quran and the Holy Prophet (PBUH) it becomes crystal clear that Islam is a religion of justice, and that justice and truth is a predominant feature in a Muslim Society.
What we need to do right now is to understand that unless and until as a nation we transform our lives according to the injunctions of Islam we will find ourselves in a very unpleasant situation.
We have to strive to promote a culture of justice, peace, merit, principle, truth, tolerance and sacrifice if we wish to handover a better Pakistan to the next generation.
Dispensing justice is indeed an uphill task. We are committed to perform this duty with the able assistance of the Bar under the guidance of honourable Chief Justice, but it is only possible with the blessings of Allah Almighty.
I pray to Allah Almighty to shower His blessings not only on my team, my staff and myself, but also on every one touched by this tremendous responsibility.....Amen.
