- Hadith: The prophet (ﷺ) said that Allah said: وَمَا يَزَالُ عَبْدِي يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَىَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ،
o and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him,
o فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنْتُ
 And when I love Him, I become
 سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ،
• His hearing which he hears with
o Allah will protect your hearing from listening to the haram
o And if it does hear the haram then Allah will not allow your faith to be negatively affected by it
o And He will guide your hearing to listen to that which is halal, pure and pleasing to Allah
 وَبَصَرَهُ الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ،
• His sight which he sees with
o Allah will protect your eyes from looking at the haram
 وَيَدَهُ الَّتِي يَبْطُشُ بِهَا
• His hand which he holds with
o Allah will protect your hands from holding the haram
 وَرِجْلَهُ الَّتِي يَمْشِي بِهَا،
• His leg which he walks with
o Allah will protect your legs from walking to the haram
 وَإِنْ سَأَلَنِي لأُعْطِيَنَّهُ،
• And if he asks Me for something, I will respond and give him
 وَلَئِنِ اسْتَعَاذَنِي لأُعِيذَنَّهُ،
• And if he seeks protection in Me, I will protect him [Al-Bukhari]
- Verse: لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا
o We have sent Our messengers
o بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ
 With clear proofs
o وَأَنزَلْنَا مَعَهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ
 And We sent down with them the holy book
o وَٱلْمِيزَانَ
 The balance of truth and justice
 لِيَقُومَ ٱلنَّاسُ بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۖ…. - 57:25
• So that people may maintain [their affairs] in justice, and live a fair and just life.
o Hadith (Al-Mahdi): لو لم يبقَ منَ الدُّنيا إلَّا يومٌ
 If there was only 1 day left for this world (to basically come to an end)
 لطوَّلَ اللَّهُ ذلِكَ اليومَ حتَّى
• Allah would make this day long, He would elongate that day until
 يَبعثَ فيهِ رجلًا منِّي - أو من أَهْلِ بيتي -
• Until Allah sends a man from the lineage of my family
 يواطئُ اسمُهُ اسمي ،
• His name will match my name
 واسمُ أبيهِ اسمُ أبي
• And his father’s name will match my father’s name
 يملأُ الأرضَ قِسطًا وعدلًا
• Who will fill earth with balance and justice
 كما ملئت ظُلمًا وجَورًا .
• Just like how it was filled with oppression and tyranny [Abu Dawud]
- Verse: سَمَّـٰعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ أَكَّـٰلُونَ لِلسُّحْتِ ۚ
o These were people who followed falsehood and consumed the haram.
 They had no love to Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). They would gossip and backbite. Very much enemies to Allah and His messenger
- فَإِن جَآءُوكَ
o If they come to you, O Muhammad (ﷺ) with a problem, a dispute between one another or other people, and they want you to be a judge and solve the matter.
- فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَهُمْ أَوْ أَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ ۖ
o Then you have 2 options: either judge between them or turn away from them (turn down their request)
- وَإِن تُعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ فَلَن يَضُرُّوكَ شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ
o If you turn away from them, they will not harm you whatsoever.
- وَإِنْ حَكَمْتَ
o But if you choose to judge between them,
- فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَهُم بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُقْسِطِينَ - Ch 5 V 42
o then do so with justice. For sure, Allah loves those who are just.
 Even if they were oppressors, have their own agenda, they are enemies to you, then do not let any of that be a reason to not judge in fairness and justice.
 Story/Hadith: النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ An-Nu’man bin Bashir said:
o "My father gave me a gift
o but `Amra bint Rawaha (An-Numan’s mother) said: I do not agree to it unless you have Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as a witness to it.
o So, my father went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said:
 “I have given a gift to my son from `Amra bint Rawaha,
 but she ordered me to make you as a witness to it, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!”
o The prophet (ﷺ) asked: “Have you given to all your children something similar?”
o He replied: “No.”
o The prophet (ﷺ) said: “Fear Allah, and be just to your children.”
o My father then returned and took back his gift." [Al-Bukhari]
- Verse:
o If there were 2 groups of believers who were fighting each other
o Then seek to make peace and reconcile between them
o But if one of them transgresses against the other
o Then fight against the transgressing group until they ˹are willing to˺ submit to the rule of Allah.
o If they do submit to the rule of Allah, then make peace and reconcile between both ˹groups˺
o (make peace and reconcile) fairly and justly. Surely Allah loves those who uphold justice.
