Rashduct4luv:
Islam is not a religion of equality but of Justice – Shaykh Uthaymeen

There are some people who speak of equality instead of justice, and this is a mistake. We should not say equality, because equality implies no differentiation between the two. Because of this unjust call for equality, they ask, “What is the difference between male and female?” So they have made men similar to women. The communists said, “What difference is there between the ruler and the subject? No one has any authority over anyone else.” Not even the father over his son?! So they said the father has no authority over his son and so on.Instead, if we say justice, which means giving each one what he or she is entitled, this misunderstanding no longer applies, and the word used is correct. Allah does not say in the Qur’an that He enjoins equality. He said (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, Allah enjoins Al‘Adl (i.e. justice)” (Qur’an, 16:90)

“And that when you judge between men, you judge with justice.” (Qur’an, 4:58)

Those who say that Islam is the religion of equality are lying against Islam.Rather Islam is the religion of justice, which means treating equally those who are equal and differentiating between those who are different. No one who knows the religion of Islam would say that it is the religion of equality. Rather what shows you that this principle is false is the fact that most of what is mentioned in the Qur’an denies equality, as in the following verses: “Say: Are those who know equal to those who know not?” (Qur’an, 39:9)

“Say: Is the blind equal to the one who sees? Or darkness equal to light?” (Qur’an, 13:16)

“Not equal among you are those who spent and fought before the conquering (of Makkah, with those among you who did so later.” (Qur’an, 57:10)

“Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives.” (Qur’an, 4:95)

Not one single letter in the Qur’an enjoins equality, rather it enjoins justice. You will also find that the word justice is acceptable to people, for I feel that if I am better than this man in terms of knowledge, or wealth, or piety, or in doing good, I would not like for him to be equal to me.Everyone knows that it is unacceptable if we say that the male is equal to the female.

ledaman:
Always reflect deep before making comments.
It's not about emotional instability.

Christlike01:
What’s there to reflect on?! Just so you know, I practiced Islam for well over forty years. I’ve mentioned that on this forum before. Trust me, I didn’t make that assertion lightly—I said it out of conviction. I repeat: Islam is a manipulative tool.
I won’t even engage you in any witless back-and-forth on the subject. I will only pray for you to be brought out of darkness.

Shalom.

ledaman:
Lol! You practice for fourty years without Knowing what you practices.
It quite unfortunate for you to end it this way
That's the results of not making investigation.
You only listen to one kangaroo Mallam and probably with your weak faith you deviated.
Tell me where Islam manipulate someone boldly please.
Kindly highlights it and let people with knowledge judge it for us.

Akinbahm:
Next time you want to engage someone once you hear the term "I was once practicing so so religion", "I' support so so", "I'm into so so too" trust me the next content will be nothing to write home about... always save yourself the explanation cause it won't yield any positive arguments.

Nteogwuija:
I don't think inequality is injustice. We all can never be equal, even in death. If everyone is equal, how then do we have the destitutes, the poor, the middle class, the rich, and the wealthy?

Validated:
Justice without EQUALITY is INJUSTICE. There can never be justice where equality does not exist. That would be rhetoric.

ledaman:
Lol! You are absolutely correct

femmy2010:
Justice is the broader concept,it is the moral and legal principle of fairness, impartiality, and giving each person their due.

Equality is only one component of justice, ensuring that like cases are treated alike and people have equal access, rights, and opportunities.

Akinbahm:
I need your verdict on this scenario boss, two brothers have the sum of 10M to Japa given to them by their late parents.

Brother A wants only America, ticket to America is 6.5M... Brother B wants nothing but Spain and ticket is 3.5M to spain.

How will you share the money by satisfying the two brothers want?

Fuckyoumod:
Lol you are a very funny person! Do you believe in these things you wrote?

How many victims of Islamic terrorism got justice?
Lol.... Justice, do you know what's justice at all?
