The Prophet (SAWA) undertook pure justice. He was instilled with it and he fulfilled it in the world of existence. Justice was the most important element of his mission that he spared no effort to realize it among all classes of society. Once, an ignorant man said to the Prophet (SAWA): "Be just, O Muhammad!" The Prophet (SAWA) said to him: "May Allah forgive you! Who will be just if I am not? Then, I fail and lose if I am not just." (1) He did not punish anyone for another's error and did not affirm anyone's claim against another. He spread justice in the full sense of the word among all people with all their classes, ranks, and races. He did not differentiate anyone from another in rights and duties. He dispensed justice among all without excluding anyone. He built his state on the best form of justice that assured all people's rights, security, and ease.
