. . . O my people, you may do injustice to yourselves, . . .

. . . . . O my people, you may do injustice to yourselves, but you must not do injustice to others! Injustice [zulm] brings out the ruin of whole countries, and puts an end to their development. It darkens hearts and perpetrates injustice [la tazlimu], for it will result in darkness [zulma] on the Day of Resurrection [Yawm al-Qiyama]. The resurrection of our physical bodies is something we shall experience all too soon. The Creator of our physical bodies will make us stand before Him, while He call us to account and submits us to interrogation. He will ask us about everything, be it little or much, and He will hold us responsible for the tiniest details. . . . .
