Harvard University in the United States has posted a verse of the Holy Quran at the entrance of its faculty of law, describing the verse as one of the greatest expressions for justice in history.

“O ye who believe!
Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses
To Allah, even as against
Yourselves, or as your parents,
Or your kin, and whether
It be (against) rich or poor;
For Allah can best protect both."

The Verse 135 of Sura Al Nisa (women chapter) has been emblazoned on the wall facing the faculty’s main entrance, dedicated to the best phrases said about justice.

According to the Saudi Arabic language daily Ajel, a Saudi student who studies at Harvard published a picture of the poster on his Twitter page.

Abdullah Jumma said, “I noticed that the verse was posted by the faculty of law, which described it as one of the greatest expressions for justice in history.”
