"O you who believe,
0:12
be steadfast in maintaining justice,

“O ye who believe! Be ye staunch in justice, witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourselves or (your) parents or (your) kindred, whether (the case be of) a rich man or a poor man, for Allah is nearer unto both (them ye are).

“O ye who believe! Be ye staunch in justice, witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourselves or (your) parents or (your) kindred, whether (the case be of) a rich man or a poor man, for Allah is nearer unto both (them ye are).

"O you who believe,

believe in Allah and His Messenger..."
1:09
“O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His messenger and the Scripture which He hath revealed unto His messenger, and the Scripture which He revealed aforetime. Whoso disbelieveth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers and the Last Day, he verily hath wandered far astray.” (4:136)
1:14
“O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His messenger and the Scripture which He hath revealed unto His messenger, and the Scripture which He revealed aforetime.

1:27
“O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His messenger and the Scripture which He hath revealed unto His messenger, and the Scripture which He revealed aforetime.

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
1:47
"O people!
1:49
Those who came before you were destroyed only because
1:52
if a noble person among them stole, they spared him,
1:57
but if a weak person among them stole, they applied the prescribed punishment upon him.

By Allah!
2:04
If Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, were to steal,
2:08
I would certainly cut off her hand."

The rulings of Islam know no favoritism or flattery;
2:19
for true justice requires that rights be restored to their rightful owners, even if they are non-Muslims,

2:35

But when we forgot this, we were forgotten.
