Qur'an Verse of the Day: Be Just

Monday August 7, 2006
O you who believe...
never let the hatred of others towards you
make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice.
Be just - that is next to piety.
Qur'an (5:8)

(1) muhammad says:

A nice word but with a deep meaning!
1. O you who believe= believe in ALLAH?

My understanding in this verse is simply as follow, and i hope those who have an open mind can see it as i see it,
let see it from the energy side.
Hatred is an energy full of violence and chaotic and destructive force, an unseen subconcious generated by a single human , an entity or the collective unit. if this energy which we encountered being channeled toward us, we must never take the retaliotary course of action or turn to anger or th enegative side of our emotion or faith. we must be just, for when we are just it is a state of balance and we may examine the source of this enegry is not being channel toward us alone. the acceptance and the balance of emotion is the condition next to piety, but it is not piety it self.
“for those who sees the word of god and believe he is the master that control all, then we must behave according to the test being presented before us”
gos bless
amin.
