Majlis 80: "Why do people desire justice and fairness?" | Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS

Humans desire justice and fairness in all matters. Even children, when they receive less than others, they say “not fair”. Court systems exist in almost all countries so that people can defend their rights. What is the reason humans want justice for everyone?

Allah always acts justly. The Qur’an states that you will not find any inequalities in Allah’s creation. Allah is the Most Just.

Yet, we see many apparent inequalities in this world: one person is wealthy while another is poor, one has sight while another is blind, how is this fair? Circumstances occur in this world in accordance with divine ordinance, such as accidents and storms; good people often face such difficulties. So, is this all attributed to The Almighty? How is He just and fair?

How is Allah’s justice connected to Allah’s Awliyaa’? A man once questioned Rasulullah’s justice; what did Rasulullah say to him?

Syedna TUS answers these questions in this Majlis, the 80th in the Majalis al-Hikma series. Questions can be asked by email to info@fatemidawat.com.
