The Holy Quran 7:29 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

قُلْ أَمَرَ رَبِّى بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۖ وَأَقِيمُوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَٱدْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ ۚ كَمَا بَدَأَكُمْ تَعُودُونَ

Translation

Say, "(Far from commanding immoral behaviour) My Rabb has commanded me with justice (that I should be just in all laws of the Shari'ah) and that you straighten your sights (devote yourself to Allaah) at the time of every prostration (salaah) and call to Him (worship Him with total submission), sincerely devoting your worship to Him (without committing Shirk). As He created you initially (without anything), so will you return (to Allaah on the Day of Qiyaamah)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

in Ruh al-Ma'ani it says: القسط على ما قال غير واحد العدل وهو الوسط من كل شيء المتجافي عن طرفي الافراط والتفريط (“Qist, as more than one scholar has said, is justice, and it is the middle of everything, keeping away from the two extremes of excess and neglect”).
