Quran quote ripples at Harvard

http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/NewDelhi/Quran-quote-ripples-at-Harvard/Article1-990795.aspx

Harvard University, the esteemed Ivy League institution, has put up a verse from the Quran at the entrance of its famed law faculty, calling it one of the “irrepressible” ideas on justice, alongside the Magna Carta, sparking an online debate. Verse 135 from chapter four of the Muslim holy book, the only one devoted to women, enjoins believers to stand firmly for justice and depose as witnesses even against oneself and one’s parents, if need be, for the sake of truth.

(135) يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاء لِلّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَى أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالأَقْرَبِينَ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقَيرًا فَاللّهُ أَوْلَى بِهِمَا فَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ الْهَوَى أَن تَعْدِلُواْ وَإِن تَلْوُواْ أَوْ تُعْرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا

135. ” O’ you who have Faith! be maintainers of justice (and) witnesses for Allah’s sake, though it be against your own selves or (your) parents or near relatives; whether the one be rich or poor, Allah is closer to them both. Therefore do not follow any passion so that you can deal jsustly; and if you swerve or decline the right, then verily Allah is aware of what you do.”

Revealed in Medina after the Prophet’s migration from Mecca in 622 CE, the verse, according to Harvard’s citation, addresses the “importance of truthfulness in testimony”.

This move has evoked sharp responses from far-right outfits inside and outside the US. Some groups have cited Harvard’s faith-respecting facilities, such as a Shariah-complaint gym, a Muslim chaplainry and “azaan” broadcasts five times a day as the “Islamisation of the world’s greatest university”.

“Words of Justice” plastered on the walls of Milstein East Conference Room have excerpts dating back to 550 BCE. Both the faculty and students made the selections.

The first quotation is from Saint Augustine: “An unjust law is no law at all.” The verse from Quran’s “Al-Nisa” chapter is placed between Augustine’s canonical quote and the Magna Carta — the canon of modern civil liberties.

“The words on these walls affirm the power and irrepressibility of the idea of justice,” dean Martha Minow states in an introduction. A student tweeted the story, causing an online tsunami.

“Harvard Dhimmis Submit..,” mocked an online comment, “dhimmi” being a pejorative Islamic term for non-Muslims in a Muslim state.

Commentary: Social Justice: Following to the instructions that were pointed out through previous versses about the execution of justice upon orphans and wives, here in this verse, the statement is upon a basic principle and a general law. It is about the execution of Justice in all aspects and without any exception. It says: ” O’ you who have Faith! be maintainers of justice …”That is, you should accomplish justice so that you might not have the least inclination toward any side. Then, to emphasize the matter, the verse refers to the subject of bearing witness. It recommends upon affairs concerning the witnesses, in particular, and that you should put aside all circumspections and bear witness rightfully for the sake of Allah, even if it is against you or your parents or your near relatives. It says: “… (and) witnesses for Allah’s sake, though it be against your own selves or (your) parents or near relatives;It can be understood from this holy phrase that it is possible for relatives to bear wintess for or against each other when they observe the principles of justice. Then, it points to other factors of perversion from the principle of justice. It implies that neither the wealth of the rich nor the emotions arisen from the poverty of the poor should hinder to bear witness rightfully. It is because if the person against whom the witness will be is rich or poor, Allah is more aware of his condition. Therefore, neither the possessors of wealth and force can damage the rightful witnesses when there is the support of Allah, nor the poor remain hungry when justice is executed. The verse says: “… whether the one be rich or poor, Allah is closer to them both…”Again, to emphasize on the matter, it instructs us not to follow our desires, because, in that case, there come forth some barriers for executing justice. “… Therefore do not follow any passion so that you can deal justly; …”This sentence clearly leads us to the fact that the origine of transgressions and cruelties is carnal desires. Thus, if a group of people be not the followers of carnal desires, unjustice and cruelty may not be found among them. For the importance that there lies in the excecution of justice, it emphasizes again on this commandment. It indicate that if you hinder the right from reaching the rightful person, or pervert the right, or turn aside from the right when it becomes clear to you, Allah is well aware of what you do. It says: “… and if you swerve or decline (the right) , then verily Allah isaware of what you do.” The above verse makes completely manifest the extra ordinary attention of Islam to the subject of social justice in whatever form and in whatever case it may be. The application of different emphasis mentioned in these sentences shows how much Islam is sensitive for this important social subject among humankind. But, unfortunately, there is a long distance between the action of Muslims and this excellent Islamic commandment! This very fact, of course, is one of the secrets of their retardation.
