Stand out firmly for justice

[kormath]

May I quote a Qura'anic Verse which commands the believers to stand out for justice firmly? Can you point out a verse in the Qura'an commands the injustice?


135 يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاء لِلّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَى أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالأَقْرَبِينَ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيّاً أَوْ فَقَيراً فَاللّهُ أَوْلَى بِهِمَا فَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ الْهَوَى أَن تَعْدِلُواْ وَإِن تَلْوُواْ أَوْ تُعْرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيراً

O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever WellAcquainted with what you do.
( سورة النساء , An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #135)

Stand out firmly for justice....even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin,

If a Muslim in the west commits a crime, this verse is ignored by other Muslims.

That's why Islam has a bad name in the west.

I am yet to figure out your purpose on the forum.

To teach you how Islam presents itself in my country.

No! That is how YOU choose to see it. As I am certain you don't represent everyone in your country.

My bet is that he represents the attatude of many, maybe even a majority.

and Greetings,

I have deleted some posts to try and focus on the topic at hand here. This thread could well have been made in the Basics of Islam/Discover Islam section, but seeing as it was posted here, I assume its message is to be conveyed to all that Islam promotes justice in all situations, despite however it is often presented. While some Muslims may be ignorant of what the Qur'an teaches, please note that there are many who are knowledgeable in this regard but unfortunately are not equally given the same publicity as those who are not.
