۞ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا
قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ
وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ ۚ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَىٰ بِهِمَا
ۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوَىٰ أَن تَعْدِلُوا ۚ وَإِن تَلْوُوا أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا فَإِنَّ
اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا (135)
O you believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as
witnesses to Allâh, even though it be against
yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allâh is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow
not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you avoid justice; and if you distort your
witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allâh
is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do. [1]
[1]Narrated Anas رضى الله عنه : The
Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was asked
about the great sins. He said, “They are:
a) To join others in worship with Allâh.
b) To be undutiful to one’s parents.
c) To kill a person (which Allâh has
forbidden to be killed i.e.to commit the crime of murdering).
d) And to give a false witness.”
(Sahīh Al-Bukhârī, Vol. 3, Hadīth No.
821).
