Asalamualikoum, welcome back to Allah Loves.

So I said that the two most common occurrences of "Allah yohib" Allah Loves in the Quran

are "inAllaha yuhibo al motakeen" and "inaAllaha yuhibo el muhseneen" that Allah loves those

who observe piety and Allah loves those observe excellence.

The third most common occurrence in the Quran is "ina Allah yuhibo el mokseteen".

Allah loves those who are just.

Allah loves those who are equitable.

Now usually when you think about justice, you think about big picture things.

You think about a ruler, you think about an authority, you think about a government, you

think about all of these huge systems that exist outside of your immediate control.

But if you realize the references to justice in the Quran are usually talking about things

that we encounter on a daily basis.

So Allah talks about how he hates oppression, Allah hates transgression, Allah hates all

of those things that demonstrate inequity.

But when it comes to us in our own individual lives, when does Allah praise those who do

justice and those who are equitable.

Allah says he loves those who are just.

"wala yajnemanakoum shana'ano kouman 'ala al ta'adeloo".

He loves people that are just even with people they don't like.

So you don't let your hatred of a people cause you to be unjust to them and that earns you

the love of Allah.

Allah say "wallaho yuhibo al mokseteen" in surat el hujuraat when he is talking about

a person that brings two people together, two groups of people together that have some

sort of argument or some sort of disagreement or some sort of in-fighting.

Thats something that can be occurring in your own family life, in your own work place.

Or it could be occurring in your own community and you play the role of "islah" in rectifying

the situation, reconciling between the parties but most importantly maintaining a sense of

justice.

The scholars warned us not to read the traditions about the just ruler, who is the first person

shaded by Allah on the day of judgement under his throne or the one who is given a pulpit

of light just in the capacity of a sultan or an imam or the ruler or the government

or the authority, but rather to see ourselves capable of attaining those positions.

Every single one of us is placed in a situation, in fact multiple situations, sometimes even

on a daily basis in which we have the ability to either be a vehicle of justice in someone

else's life or to uphold it in our own immediate lives with the things that are around us.

"inallaha yuhibo el mokseteen" Allah loves those who are just and Allah hates those who

oppress and oppression is a disqualification of the love of Allah (swt) and each one of

us should look in our lives and say if I am being unjust how will that fair on the day

of judgement when the first rule is "la thalm al youm" there is no transgression that will

be tolerated today.

When Allah even does justice between the animals, how can I expect then to show up on the day

of judgement and not be taken to task for my own injustice.The last thing that is important

to mention here is Sufyan al Thouri (may Allah have mercy on him) said something very powerful

in regards to our own lives.

Because the first thing that you think about when you think about injustice is am I actually

a source of injustice on someone else's life.

Not am i being complacent with someone else's injustice or am i not standing up for someone

when i should be standing up for someone or being fair and equitable in a situation but

am i myself guilty of harming someone or oppressing someone.

And Sufyan al Thouri (may Allah have mercy on him) he said that I wish that on the day

of judgement the only one have to deal with is Allah but on the day of judgement though

Allah might forgive all of the sins that you have committed in regards to your relationship

with Him, Allah will not allow for a wrongdoing that you did to someone else to go unaccounted

for.

If Allah loves you, and this is what Ibn Masood said that if Allah loves you then he would

allow for all those people that you owe because of injustices to be repaid from your deeds

but Allah would increase one of your good deeds in size to a point that it would cover

for those deficiencies found in your deeds.

So we ask Allah (swt) first and foremost to protect us from being unjust to other people,

to protect us from being complacent with injustice when it is apparent to us, to protect us from

doing things that are inequitable from judging in a way that's faulty when we have parties

due to being swayed by interest of something else and we ask Allah (swt) to not judge us

by his justice on the day of judgement but instead by his mercy.

Allahoma Ameen, JazakAllah khayran and see you all next time inshallah wsalamoalikoum

wa rahmatollahi wa barakato.
