Conclusion
Muslims believe that by applying Islam, which is a complete guide for living, following the rules of humanity, justice, love, and moral behaviour, humans can lead better lives, be free from poverty and disease, and lead a life of harmony and peace. Islam teaches peace, the feeling of compassion, and the attachment of respect and care to the causes of mankind. In fact, Muslims believe that true justice must be established in this life and there is no mercy for anyone who violates the rights of others. In Islam, the Creator of the universe – Allah Almighty, alone is in control. Humans have no power over him. The Islamic law of revenge, however, provides Muslims with a moral imperative to restore what they feel has been lost to them through injustice.
