True justice according to #Islam⚖️

"... if one wants to seek recompense for being wronged, then it must only be to the extent of the wrong committed, and even then the matter should be put before a person in authority."

🧵(1/9)
اِنَّ اللّٰہَ یَاۡمُرُ بِالۡعَدۡلِ وَ الۡاِحۡسَانِ وَ اِیۡتَآیِٔ ذِی الۡقُرۡبٰی

'Verily, Allah enjoins justice, and the doing of good to others; and giving like kindred.' (2/9)
"This Qur’anic injunction is such that if it is truly implemented it can create an extraordinary spirit of peace and security in every section and in every level of society. (3/9)
"The first commandment which Allah the Almighty gives is to act with justice [Adl] with one another; in other words, to act with equity. For example, if one wants to seek recompense for being wronged, then it must only be to the extent of the wrong committed, (4/10)
"and even then the matter should be put before a person in authority. At times, (5/9)
"certain people harbour such intense enmity for one another that they claim that they will not leave the matter until the person who wronged them is completely disgraced and brought to their knees. This is a completely wrong attitude and Islam rejects this.

Similarly, (6/9)
"when we analyse this at an international level, we find that owing to relations breaking down between countries, one country seeks to inflict so much loss on the other that consequently, the other is left destabilised for many decades. Nowadays, (7/9)
"we find many powerful nations doing this. Allah the Almighty forbids this and in fact, commands to act with justice.

The second stage is that of doing good to others [Ihsan]. Doing good to others does not mean that you should first look at how others are treating you, (8/9)
"in fact, it means that even if someone treats you wrong, you should treat them well, forgive them and pardon them. This injunction includes forgiveness, pardon, helping the poor, charity and all other deeds, whether they are done individually or as a community." (9/9)

🧵Finding a suitable partner

Answering a question on this topic, Huzoor (aa) advised: “The Holy Prophet (sa) gave us a general rule of thumb by taking a particular case; the very case you are describing: finding a life partner.

⬇️(1/9)
“He instructed us that when finding a suitable partner for marriage, people look for three or four factors.” This included family status, wealth and beauty. However, “The Holy Prophet (sa) said these three factors are worldly desires. (2/9)

Superficial Oaths of Allegiance

"A superficial oath of allegiance to a spiritual guide brings no benefit and it is difficult to derive any gain from such an oath of allegiance."

- The Promised Messiah (as)

🧵(1/6)
"A person shall truly reap benefit only when they abandon their ego and attach themselves to this person with abiding love and sincerity. Since the hypocrites did not possess a true relationship with the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, (2/6)
"and his progeny, ultimately, they remained bereft of faith; they were left devoid of pure love and sincerity. And so, the mere proclamation لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ (There is none worthy of worship except Allah) was of no avail to them. Thus, (3/6)
