YOU HAVE AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE IN ALLAH’S MESSENGER

Hates Injustice

Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him hated injustice and the unjust.  He avoided being unjust at any time, this is because of what he knew about Allah’s hate of injustice.

Allah’s messenger’s companion, Anas Ibn Malek reported: “The prices went up during the life of Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him.  People said to him: “Fix prices for us Allah’s messenger”.  He said: “Allah is the one who makes the prices and He is the One who withhold and the One, who gives, and I hope to meet my Lord and no one has any claim that I have been unjust to him, neither in blood or money”.  (T:Beyo;73 & D:Beyo;49 & Ma:Tegarate;27 & Da:Beyo;13 & A:2;337)

Many of us will think that for the state authorities to fix the prices of some essential items without compensating for any losses is a common practice and is not unjust to any one.  However, Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him who knew Allah the Highest best and is the most pious did not like to fix a price for any thing.

It may be that the price would be good for the merchant and unfair for the buyer, and he would be unjust to the buyer.  Or it may be that the price would be cheap for the buyer and unfair for the merchant, and he would be unjust to the merchant.  In either case some one will have a claim against him on thee Day of Resurrection.

This shows us how much was Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him keen to avoid being unjust to any one, in any way or form.  Such is the character of Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him, whom Allah the Highest made to be thee example for us to follow.

May Allah’s prayer and peace be upon our prophet and messenger Mohamed and upon his family and companions.
