God Commands Justice and Kindness

English book, p. 133

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

God Commands Justice and Kindness need, he should be similarly sensitive about the needs of others who are close to him. After this, three things have been prohibited in this verse. The first thing is moral evil (fahsha) which is clearly judged to be such by the human conscience and is universally considered shameful. The second is the perpetration of such deeds as are judged improper by common moral standards. This includes all those things which are considered evil and which human nature refuses to accept. The third thing is transgressing all limits (baghi). This includes arrogance; a person exceeding his recognized limits and attacking another person; his engaging in sinful behaviour in order to harm another’s life, property and honour; his making use of his strength and influence to gain an illegitimate advantage.
