It’s easy to speak up about injustice happening a thousand miles away. It’s much harder when it’s happening in your own family. In this Q&A, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan responds to a questioner struggling to understand how to live by the command in Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:8): stand up for Allah as witnesses to justice, and never let hatred keep you from being fair. Ustadh Nouman explains that justice is not only about geopolitics and activism. The same Allah who commanded us to pray and fast commanded us to speak up when we see wrong, whether it’s financial injustice, family injustice or wrongdoing among our own friends. Staying silent to avoid drama while posting about causes far away is a double standard the Quran does not allow. The goal is a real commitment to the actual word of Allah and what it does in our lives.
