What is the ruling on expressing "Divine Justice" in Islamic Sharia?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no objection to using the term "Divine Justice." Some trustworthy scholars have used it without being censured, among them Sheikh Abdur-Razzaq Afifi, Sheikh Al-Fawzan, Sheikh Ni'matullah Alwan, Al-Jazairi, and Az-Zuhaili. The term signifies Allah Almighty's justice in His actions, judgments, and words, as He says: "And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice" (Al-An'am: 115). As Ibn Al-Qayyim clarified, justice is one of Allah's attributes in His actions, words, and judgments, and all His actions are based on justice and rectitude, with no injustice whatsoever.
