Statement | Ayatollah Qassim October 24, 2020

In the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most beneficial

Justice is a main pillar of decent morals, on which life should be based, and on which truth should rely. It is the base that heads every other moral behavior, and it is not preceded by any of them, but it is a product of all the noble moral origins, and every other moral falls by departing from justice.

Honesty which doesn’t lead to justice shall fall and so is the case with trust, generosity, courage, and others.

Benevolence is a great quality, but the philanthropist is logically blamed and religiously sinful if his benevolence to the one who mistreated and oppressed others encourages his acts; religion forbids all of this when it conflicts with justice.

The trust which helps treason is considered treason, and honesty, where its resource is incompatible with the preservation of justice is destructive, not constructive.

Believers and non-believers shall be treated justly in Islam. No one shall help injustice and no one shall remain silent in the face of injustice.

The believer’s morals should be derived from faith, and the Muslim’s stances should be derived from Islam, or his religion would be incomplete, and his stances would contradict Islam.

Delusional and ignorant are those who think that believers who understand Islam and the value of justice in it, which outweighs any other value, and who are committed to their religious vision and religious mandate, can make any bargain for a personal or public material or emotional gain, even if it appears to be a gain for Islam, if the price is to compromise justice, or help an injustice.

Justice should remain the main demand of each reform, correction, and change movement of varying degrees.

Those who want true justice shall hold on to Islam. The establishment of justice can only be achieved by restoring all rights, whether political or otherwise, in a precise and complete manner.
