| Al Bilal Muhammad Et Al O you who believe, stand out firmly for justice as witnesses to God, even against yourselves, your parents, or your family.

So do not (in expectation of some gain from the rich or out of misplaced compassion for the poor) follow your own desires lest you swerve from justice. If you distort (the truth) or decline (to bear truthful witness), then know that God is fully aware of all that you do |
