Be upholders of justice, bearing witness for God alone, even against yourselves or your parents and relatives. Whether they are rich or poor, God is well able to look after them. Do not follow your own desires and deviate from the truth... (Surat an-Nisa':135) Prophet Muhammad lived in a place where people of different religions, languages, races, and tribes, all coexisted. It was very difficult for those societies to live together in peace and security. Yet the justice of the Prophet was a source of peace and security for other communities living in the Arabian Peninsula just as much as it was for Muslims.

In our day the only solution to the fighting and conflict going on all over the world is to adopt the morality of the Quran and like the prophet never to depart from the path of justice, making no distinction between different religions, languages or races. Because only in that way can humanity attain the peace, security, and happiness it needs and peace security, and justice prevail all over the world, just as in the time of our Prophet.
