Adl in the Quran
The root of the word is *’ADL, to be in proportion. The concept of adl is usually translated to mean justice, however this is not sufficient. Adl implies an equality of treatment, an evenness in meting out treatment towards others. It is done for the pleasure of Allah and by His Command, however it is a concept that includes a good measure of relativity. The comparison of fair, equitable treatment is done against other people, rather than against an absolute scale. Adl however is one aspect of justice; adl and qist together give equity in life.
