Al-Ma'idah · Ayah 8 · Juz 6 · Page 108

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٰمِينَ لِلَّهِ شُهَدَآءَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۖ وَلَا يَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شَنَـَٔانُ قَوۡمٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَلَّا تَعۡدِلُواْۚ ٱعۡدِلُواْ هُوَ أَقۡرَبُ لِلتَّقۡوَىٰۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٨

Yāʾayyuhal-ladhīna āmanū kūnū qawwāmīna lillāhi shuhadāʾa bil-qisṭ, wa lā yajrimannakum shanaʾānu qawmin ʿalā allā taʿdilū, iʿdilū huwa aqrabu lit-taqwā, wattaqullāh, innallāha khabīrum bimā taʿmalūn.

O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allāh, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allāh; indeed, Allāh is [fully] Aware of what you do.
