As the Quran tells us: "We sent Our messengers with the clear proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Balance, that humanity may uphold justice. And We sent down iron, in which is violent force, and benefits for humanity. That God may know who supports Him and His messengers invisibly. God is Strong and Powerful." [Al-Hadeed 57:25]. This is where we come to know that the sole reason of sending Prophets to the mankind by Allah was to end injustice and establish justice on mankind.
The book of balance, Quran tells us the difference between right and wrong and for sure it eliminates and bias, ambiguity and unfair unjust dilemmas and assumptions which might not be just to make and for such a reason we are to take guidance from the book of balance and learn from the teachings of our Prophets which acted as the messengers of Allah and to make mankind understand the true value of our life and the obligations which we owe to our lord.
When we combine the two sources of guidance we come to know the real meaning of life and the duty to which we owe Allah the Almighty, further these sources are to teach the difference between right and wrong, the rights of Allah and other mankind on us which include people around us and our loved ones and how to successfully balance in-between them individually and collectively.
See how the Qur'an teaches us to overcome the first impediment when we are dealing with our closest relatives or even ourselves. " If you fear a breach between the two, appoint an arbiter from his family and an arbiter from her family. If they wish to reconcile, God will bring them together. God is Knowledgeable, Expert." [An-Nisa 4:35]
There are clear teachings in Quran and other authenticated sources that there is no room of injustice and bias decisions or acts that create conflicts between people on favoritism and self interest. The justice is demanded by Islam which allows no self interest and favors on one side decisions to the most injustice and prejudice.
That is the justice the world needs today and here Quran says: "God commands you to give back things entrusted to you to their owners. And when you judge between people, judge with justice. God's instructions to you are excellent. God is All-Hearing, All-Seeing." [An-Nisa 4:58]
Remember, there is nothing less excepted than justice friends are friends and people we know, but Islam has taught us even to be just with our enemies. Please refer to more online resources to acquire appropriate knowledge for which we can learn and practice the right Islam forgiveness (Ameen).
