The Day of Justice

11 Asma 163 B.E. – August 30, 2006 A.D.

Today is ‘Idal, the Day of Justice. This is another attribute of God, which we humans can reflect. How does the individual demonstrate justice? This is a good question; we often think and talk about justice on larger scales than that of the individual. However, it is possible to practice justice the level of the individual.

There are six ways we can practice justice as individuals. First, we can think for ourselves and learn to ask questions even about our own opinions. Second, we can refuse to gossip. Third, we can avoid prejudices of any type. Fourth, we can admit our own mistakes and assume the consequences. Fifth, we can share. Seventh, we can stand up for our rights and everyone else’s.
