Letter Title: “Be Always Just”
America is going through a crisis right now. On the one hand we are dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic that is still spreading and on the other hand we are dealing with the tragic death of George Floyd and others by some police. Systemic racism is a pandemic in its own right. It is deeply rooted in the American history. What can we as a nation do to end this? My religion Islam Ahmadiyya can provide a solution. Islam says we must always be just and not discriminate even if it’s against our own selves or our kindred. The Holy Quran proclaims, “Be steadfast in the cause of Allah, bearing witness in equity; and let not a people’s enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be always just, that is nearer to righteousness.” (5:9) A person with authority, in this case, our law enforcement officials or those in power, should not abuse their powers by judging others solely by the color of their skin.
His Holiness Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the worldwide spiritual leader of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and fifth Caliph of Messiah Ahmad reminds us that “Peace and security cannot be established until people of each race and nation are able to recognize that they are indeed the children of Adam and created by a male and female and are therefore equal.” Being always just requires us to act equitably with everyone, that is the only way we can move forward.
Voting is one of the most powerful tools we have for change. Let’s utilize it.

The freedom to #vote is one of our most important political rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Tangible change to the criminal justice system can only be brought about by participation – and by voting. #InnocentLivesMatter #mondaythoughts pic.twitter.com/ZXTpUaOviv

The #Quran clearly states the importance of standing up for what's right, even if it contradicts our society's political, racial, and social climate. Those in power are required to act in the best interest of their respective community. #SupremeJustice #MondayMotivaton pic.twitter.com/OuEeTYBtO6
