Justice in Islam and the Civil Rights Movement: A Shared Struggle for Equality

At the heart of both Islam and the Civil Rights Movement lies a steadfast commitment to justice. Islam views justice (adl) not as a mere societal ideal but as a divine mandate—an essential principle woven throughout the Qur’an. Surah An-Nisa (4:135) emphasizes this foundational tenet, urging believers to “be just, for that is nearer to righteousness,” highlighting the importance of impartiality and fairness in all actions. In the Islamic tradition, justice is a moral compass guiding individuals and societies towards righteousness while calling for accountability to God.

Similarly, the Civil Rights Movement in the United States was rooted in the pursuit of racial justice in the face of deep institutionalized racism. Just as the Qur'an calls for justice even in the face of adversity, leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. grounded their struggle in the moral imperative of justice for all. Both Islam and the Civil Rights Movement, though coming from different cultural and historical contexts, share a common understanding of justice as not just an abstract ideal but a call to action—one that requires individuals to stand firm in the face of societal and personal challenges.

The Qur’anic verses urging believers to uphold justice, even when it conflicts with personal interests or societal pressure, mirror the moral foundation of the Civil Rights Movement’s demand for equal rights and social equity. The idea that justice is absolute, unwavering, and a divine command provides a universal framework that transcends religious and cultural boundaries. This shared commitment to justice unites Islam and the Civil Rights Movement in their collective fight against oppression and inequality.
