“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even if it be against yourselves, or your parents and relatives, and whether it be against rich or poor: for Allah is nearer to both (that you are). Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), and if you distort justice, or lapse or fall away, then indeed, Allah is Well-Informed of all that you do.”
