Surat An-Nisaa

Surat An-Nisaa

At the main entrance to Harvard Law School, a text from a verse in the Koran Chapter "The Women" was placed, presenting it as one of the greatest examples of justice in history.

A Harvard student, a native of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah Jumma, the text at the entrance and posted it on his Twitter page. This was reported by a Saudi paper Ajel in Arabic

The Verse Reads

"O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you swerve, and if you distort justice or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do."

(The Holy Quran, Chapter 4. "The Women", verse 135).
