(2) How is it possible that Allah Who commands man who is weak and who leads his life under the dictates of his unruly passions, not to become the cause of injustices if he receives injustice at the hands of his nation, may Himself Who possess unlimited power and Who is not under the domination of any instinct, perpetrate injustice? The Attributes of Allah The acquiring of knowledge about the Attributes of Allah is closely related to our knowledge of recognition of Allah.

For example just as we trace the writer from his writing as well as from his style of writing and identify him by particular words and phrases which he uses as his style and which indicate his mental attitude also, in the same way, every creation performs the following two main functions.

Advantages of Believing in the Justice of Allah Self-restraint: From the point of view of self-control and abstaining from sins especially when a man knows that his words and deeds are in the knowledge of Allah and not even a fraction of his deed however small it may be ignored from being taken into account and that he will be paid back for his noble and evil deeds, he will then not consider himself independent in this world (Many Qur’anic verses can be cited in this behalf).

Cheerful Outlook: Anyone who has belief in the Justice of Allah in all worldly affairs possesses a cheerful outlook of life and as such when he considers Allah to be Just, he has a cogent reason and a satisfactory answer to the unpleasant things. He accepts unpleasant things without hesitation. Such a person never suffers from disappointments and despair.

Role in Individual and Collective Life: The faith in the Justice of Allah helps to lay the foundation of justice in individual and collective life. Such a person prepares himself to accept justice in his personal and social life. The Meaning of Justice In the discussions on justice, the basic problem is to give a satisfactory answer to its criticism. We would present some explanations in light of the Qur’anic verses and traditions.

(i) The first point is that Allah is Just and Allah never deprives anyone of his rights and according to the rationality of the laws, Allah bestows His Kindness on all His creatures and never does Allah oppress anybody.
