Is Justice one of the names of Allah, the Exalted?
"Al-Adl" (The Just) has not been mentioned as a name for Allah the Almighty in the Quran or in an authentic . Rather, it was mentioned in the well-known hadith enumerating the names, the chain of transmission of which scholars have discussed and deemed its attribution to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, weak. Scholars have differed regarding counting "Al-Adl" among Allah's Most Beautiful Names. Some have included it, such as Al-Sa'di and Al-Bayhaqi, while others have not, such as Ibn Uthaymeen and Ibn Hajar, because its mention as a name for Allah the Almighty has not been established in an authentic text. However, Allah the Almighty's description as just in His actions has been affirmed.
