Justice and the Just: Imam Ali (as) - Part 1

Justice is the better of the two policies

Justice is the cornerstone of faith and the accumulator of benevolence

Justice is the mainstay of the populace and the splendour of the rulers

Justice means that you act equitably when you are oppressed, and kindness means that when you gain authority, you forgive

Be just and you will rule

Be just and your power will last

Have recourse to justice with good intention for the populace, reduced covetousness and increased piety

The loftiest of endowments is justice

The best [form of] justice is assisting the oppressed

The most just of all people is he who is equitable to the one who has oppressed him

Verily being fair in [your] ruling and escewing oppression are part of justice

Indeed justice is the scale of Allah, the Glorified, which He has placed among the creation and installed for the establishment of truth, so do not oppose Him in His scale and do not contradict Him in His authority

Verily Allah, the Glorified, has enjoined justice and benevolence and has forbidden indecency and injustice

Justice brings harmony while oppression causes deviation

Justice is the soul of testimony

Justice is the life of decrees

Justice is the best testimony

Justice reforms people

Justice is a merit for the ruler

Justice is the greatest of riches

Justice is equity

Justice is a foundation [for a healthy society]; oppression is destruction

The just [ruler] is a custodian who awaits one of the two rewards (or the better of the two rewards)

The most just among the creation is one who judges best according to the truth
