In today’s episode of Qur’an in a Year+ we look at verses 135-143 of Surah Nisa, we reflect on one of the Qur’an’s most powerful calls to integrity: “Be steadfast in justice, witnesses for Allah, even against yourselves.”
Allah commands believers to uphold truth in every circumstance, refusing to let wealth, status, or emotion distort fairness. Justice begins within; it means having the courage to be honest with yourself, to admit when you are wrong, and to align with truth even when your ego resists.
Allah reminds us that true honor and strength belong only to Him, not to worldly validation, not to powerful allies, and not to public opinion. Believers are taught to walk with dignity, engage society with wisdom, and withdraw respectfully when faith or sacred values are mocked. This passage calls us to live with moral clarity, spiritual confidence, and unshakable conviction, being just, steadfast, and proud of our faith in every space we enter.
