FURTHER CLARIFICATION

““O ye who believe! stand out firmly for O ye who believe! stand out firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing (Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing (qistqist), ), and let not the hatred of others to you and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice (from justice (‘adl‘adl). ).

Be just (Be just (a’dilua’dilu): that is next to Piety: and ): that is next to Piety: and fear Allah, for Allah is well-acquainted fear Allah, for Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.” with all that ye do.”

(Qur’an: Ma-idah: 5 : 8)(Qur’an: Ma-idah: 5 : 8)



• Although both terms imply “justice”, yet there is a slight difference in their meanings :

Between Between َع�ْد:ِل (‘(‘adladl) and ) and ِق8َس:ط ((qistqist))



• Although both terms imply “justice”, yet there is a slight difference in their meanings :

In a transaction between 2 parties (e.g. Buying and selling), to accord to both parties their due rights whence both are satisfied (win-win)

– the Arabic term ِق8َس:ط (qist) is used. This may require willingness on one or both, party to show benevolence, goodwill and generosity to the other.

Between Between َع�ْد:ِل (‘(‘adladl) and ) and ِق8َس:ط ((qistqist))



In an adjudication (judging), where justice requires that one party gains and one party has to suffer

loss, the Arabic term َع�ْد:ِل (‘adl) is used. This, perhaps is the minimal form of justice required.


FURTHER CLARIFICATIONBetween Between َع�ْد:ِل (‘(‘adladl) and ) and ِق8َس:ط ((qistqist))

In an adjudication (judging), where justice requires that one party gains and one party has to suffer

loss, the Arabic term َع�ْد:ِل (‘adl) is used. This, perhaps is the minimal form of justice required.

Even to those amongst your enemy whom you hate, you must not deprive them of ‘adl.



Thus, ِق8َس:ط (qist) would be a higher form of justice – a justice tempered with ihsan and generosity.




As Muslims, we are to strive for this higher standard, if not, then uphold the minimal.




As Muslims, we are to strive for this higher standard, if not, then uphold the minimal.

“Adab “ encompass both these understandings.
