The Most Just of Judges
أَلَيۡسَ ٱللَّهُ بِأَحۡكَمِ ٱلۡحَٰكِمِينَ ٨
Is not Allah the most conclusive of all judges.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Is not Allah the most just of judges?
Insight
Elmalılı reasons: even earthly judges punish wrongdoers and reward good. Could Allah, above all judges, fail to carry out His justice?
Reflect
Today, be fair in a situation where fairness is hard.
