In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

The Quran advocates honesty and justice (Quran 4:58, 7:29, 16:90, 55:9, etc.). God's system is that the individual who does good is rewarded and one who commits evil is punished, equitably.

A righteous person strives to be absolutely equitable, with God's help, even if they've had conflicts with the other party. A Submitter to God is aware that God is watching, and if they are unjust they will have to account for it before God on the Day of Judgment.

[Quran 5:8] O you who believe, you shall be absolutely equitable, and observe GOD, when you serve as witnesses. Do not be provoked by your conflicts with some people into committing injustice. You shall be absolutely equitable, for it is more righteous. You shall observe GOD. GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do.

[Quran 7:29] Say, "My Lord advocates justice, and to stand devoted to Him alone at every place of worship. You shall devote your worship absolutely to Him alone. Just as He initiated you, you will ultimately go back to Him."


May God help us to be just and equitable in our lives. God loves those who are just (Quran 49:9).
