We believe that Allah Almighty enjoins justice and administers justice through His Shariah, predestination, and recompense. He, Exalted be He, says: {Allah enjoins justice and kindness.} [Surat an-Nahl: 90] Allah, Exalted be He, also says: {And Allah makes a comparison of two men, one of them is dumb and unable to do anything, and he is a burden to his master; wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to the one who enjoins justice and follows a straight path?} [Surat an-Nahl: 76] Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that Allah Almighty said: "O My servants, I have forbidden injustice for Myself and made it forbidden among you. So, do not wrong one another." [Narrated by Muslim (2577) and At-Tirmidhi (2495)]
Negating injustice from Himself, Allah Almighty says: {Whoever does a righteous deed, it is to his own benefit; and whoever does an evil deed, it is to his own loss. Your Lord is not unjust to His slaves.} [Surat Fussilat: 46] Allah, the Exalted, also says: {Allah does not do injustice as much as an atom’s weight. And if it is a good deed, He will multiply it.} [Surat an-Nisā’: 40] And He Almighty says: {Whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, and is a believer, it is they who will enter Paradise, and they will not be wronged even as much as the speck on a date stone.} [Surat an-Nisā’: 124] In another verse, He Almighty says: {Allah does not wrong people in the least, but it is people who wrong themselves.} [Surat Yūnus: 44] And He, Glorified be He, says: {Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded tenfold, but whoever comes with an evil deed will only be punished with its like; and none will be wronged.} [Surat al-An‘ām: 160] In addition to other verses that indicate Allah's perfect justice and negate injustice from Him.
We believe that the precedence of the divine predestination and decree does not mean injustice to people, for Allah Almighty revealed the books and sent the messengers, so that people may have no excuse before Him after the coming of the messengers. Our Lord says: {These messengers were sent as bearers of glad tidings and as warners, so that the people may have no excuse before Allah after [the coming of] the messengers. For Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.} [Surat an-Nisā’: 165]
He made predestination a hidden secret. Allah Almighty says: {[He is] Knower of the unseen, He does not reveal His unseen to anyone.} [Surat al-Jinn: 26] He gave His servants free will. He, Exalted be He, says: {Say: "The truth is from your Lord. Whoever wills may believe, and whoever wills may disbelieve."} [Surat al-Kahf: 29] Allah Almighty also says: {Indeed, We showed him the way, whether he is grateful or ungrateful.} [Surat al-Insān: 3] And He, Glorified be He, says: {Then He inspired it [to know] its wickedness and righteousness.} [Surat ash-Shams: 8]
