AL-ADL

(The Embodiment of Justice)

The Just, The One who is entitled to do what He does.

Allah is Al-Adl, The one who rectifies and sets matters straight in a just and equitable manner. He always delivers absolute justice through His wisdom without failure. He gives to each what he deserves and puts everything in its proper order.

From the root 'a-d-l which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to act justly, fairly to be equitable, impartial to adjust properly, to make even to straighten, to rectify, to establish justice to balance, counterbalance, to make equal, uniform to turn one away from something, rightly direct to make comfortable with what is right.

The term 'Adl is not used directly in The Quran. Yet there are verses regarding his justice.

Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom's weight; while if thereis a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward. (Quran 4:40)
