Reflecting on how our sense of justice points to something greater, Alhamdulillah.

Ever catch yourself thinking the world seems cruel or unfair? But stop and ask: where did we get this idea of what's 'just' in the first place? If everything was truly meaningless from start to finish, why would any of us have such a strong feeling that things ought to be different? You can't call a line crooked unless you already have some idea of a straight line. Sometimes I tried telling myself that justice was just my own personal feeling-nothing real. But then my whole objection to a Divine order would fall apart, because that objection relies on saying the world actually is unjust, not just that it doesn't suit my preferences. So, in trying to argue against the existence of Allah-meaning, to argue that all of reality is senseless-I ended up relying on one part of reality making perfect sense: my own idea of justice. It makes you realize that dismissing faith might be too simple. If the whole universe truly had no meaning, we wouldn't even be able to recognize it as meaningless-just like if there were no light anywhere and no eyes to see, we'd never even know what darkness was. The word wouldn't mean anything. SubhanAllah.
