Hadith on Justice: The just will be exalted at the right hand of the Merciful, seated on pulpits of light

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “Verily, those who were fair will be in the presence of Allah upon pulpits of light, near the right hand of the Merciful, the Exalted, and both of His sides are right (being equally honorable); those who practiced justice in their rulings and with their families and in all that they did.”

[Sahih Muslim, Book 20, Number 4493]

Ibn Taymiyyah: The believers reconcile people, give charity, and behave with good character

Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728AH/1328CE) wrote in his text book on Islamic Creed, “The believers encourage people to reconcile relations with those who have cut them off, to give charity to those who have deprived them, and to forgive those who have oppressed them. They order people to keep benevolence with parents, to uphold ties of family, to be benevolent with neighbors, to be kind with orphans, travelers and the poor, and to be gentle with servants. They forbid bragging, arrogance and transgression. They discourage people from feeling superior over others, rightly or wrongly. And they bid people use lofty manners and prohibit them from pursuing trifles. All that they say or do from the above (good character) or from other teachings, in all of it they follow the Book and the Sunnah. Their path is the religion of Islam, for which Allah sent Muhammad, peace be blessings be upon him.”

[Ibn Taymiyyah, Al-Aqidah Al-Wasitiyyah]

وَيَنْدُبُونَ إِلَى أَنْ تَصِلَ مَنْ قَطَعَكَ، وَتُعْطِيَ مَنْ حَرَمَكَ، وَتَعْفُوَ عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَكَ‏.‏ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِبِرِّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ، وَصِلَةِ الأَرْحَامِ، وَحُسْنِ الْجِوَارِ، وَالإِحْسِانِ إلَى الْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ، وَالرِّفْقِ بِالْمَمْلُوكِ‏.‏ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَخْرِ، وَالْخُيَلاءِ، وَالْبَغْيِ، وَالاسْتِطَالَةِ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ بِحَقٍّ أَوْ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ‏.‏ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِمَعَالِي الأَخْلاَقِ،َوَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنْ سَفْسَاِفِهَا‏.‏ وَكُلُّ مَا يَقُولُونَهُ وَيَفْعَلُونَهُ مِنْ هَذَا وَغَيْرِهِ؛ فَإِنَّمَا هُمْ فِيهِ مُتَّبِعُونَ لِلْكِتَابِ وَالسُّنَّةِ، وَطَرِيقَتُهُمْ هِيَ دِينُ الإسْلاَمِ الَّذِي بَعَثَ اللهُ بِهِ مُحَمَّدًا ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم

At-Tabari: Behave well with all sects, creeds, and religions who seek peace

At-Tabari writes concerning the verse, “Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes – from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly,” (60:8) that this means, “Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion – including all the sects, creeds, and religions – that you behave righteously with them, maintain good relations with them, and act fairly with them.”
[Tafsir At-Tabari, verse 60:8]

لَّا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “Treat women with kindness, for woman is created from a rib, and the most curved portion of the rib is its upper portion.
