\"\"Chief editor writes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

WHEN<\/span> injustice becomes routine and suffering turns into ordinary imagery, we are no longer facing merely political crises, but a profound moral collapse<\/strong>.
From the United Nations<\/span><\/span> to the United Nations Security Council<\/span><\/span>, statements accumulate while reality remains unchanged:
power without restraint, and justice without teeth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Selective Justice<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

What defines today\u2019s global order is the selectivity of justice<\/strong>.
Actions condemned in one place are justified in another,
sanctions imposed on some while others act freely.<\/p>\n

This raises a fundamental question:
Is justice a principle\u2014or a tool?<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Iran<\/span><\/span> to Iraq<\/span><\/span>, Afghanistan<\/span><\/span>, Syria<\/span><\/span>, Lebanon<\/span><\/span>, Yemen<\/span><\/span>, Libya<\/span><\/span>, and Sudan<\/span><\/span>, a pattern persists:
bloodshed without a consistent standard of justice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Power vs. Justice<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

In contexts involving Israel<\/span><\/span> and the United States<\/span><\/span>, the key question emerges:<\/p>\n

Does power create legitimacy, or should legitimacy restrain power?<\/strong><\/p>\n

History answers clearly:
unchecked power becomes domination<\/strong>,
and empty justice becomes rhetoric<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Silence as Complicity<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

When states remain silent,
when institutions issue symbolic responses,
when suffering is reduced to interests\u2014<\/p>\n

silence becomes complicity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Moral Foundation: Texts and Precedents<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Qur\u2019anic Verses<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cAnd what is [the matter] with you that you do not fight in the cause of God and for the oppressed\u2026\u201d<\/strong>
(Qur\u2019an 4:75)<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed, God commands justice and excellence\u2026\u201d<\/strong>
(Qur\u2019an 16:90)<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just.\u201d<\/strong>
(Qur\u2019an 5:8)<\/p>\n

\u201cStand firmly for justice\u2026 even against yourselves.\u201d<\/strong>
(Qur\u2019an 4:135)<\/p>\n

Prophetic Hadiths<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
\u201cSupport your brother, whether he is an oppressor or oppressed.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He also said:
\u201cBeware the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and God.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He also said:
\u201cWhoever wrongs a non-Muslim under covenant, diminishes his rights, or burdens him beyond his capacity, I will be his opponent on the Day of Judgment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Historical Precedents<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • The statement of Umar ibn al-Khattab<\/span><\/span>:
    \u201cSince when have you enslaved people while they were born free?\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • The response of Al-Mu’tasim<\/span><\/span> to the cry of an oppressed woman.<\/li>\n
  • The example of Ali ibn Abi Talib<\/span><\/span>:
    standing equal before the court with a Jewish man.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Final Insight<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

    Silence in the face of injustice is not neutrality\u2014it is complicity.<\/strong>
    And justice that excludes some is not justice at all.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
