Stand firm for justice as witnesses for Allah even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or close relatives. Be they rich or poor, Allah is best to ensure their interests. So do not let your desires cause you to deviate&nbsp;˹from justice˺. If you distort the testimony or refuse to give it, then&nbsp;˹know that˺ Allah is certainly All-Aware of what you do. (4:135) &nbsp; It&rsquo;s another world cup, but unlike any before. Hosted in Qatar, it&rsquo;s been surrounded by controversy since they were first declared its hosts. Human rights abuses, alcohol bans and LGBT laws have been just some of the issues raised against the country, leading both the BBC and ITV to boycott the opening ceremony. &nbsp; As Muslims, it&rsquo;s easy to feel under attack. Why so much attention on Qatar compared to other countries? Haven&rsquo;t other countries done far worse which has gone ignored? Isn&rsquo;t this blatant hypocrisy? Whilst these may be valid objections, they are not the way we should respond as Muslims. Allah ﷻ demanded a higher standard than a moral tit-for-tat. He said: &nbsp; يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُونُوا۟ قَوَّٰمِينَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ شُهَدَآءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ ٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ وَٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ O believers! Stand firm for justice as witnesses for Allah even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or close relatives. (4:135) <p style='margin:0cm;line-height:115%;font-size:15px;font
