Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "Indeed, Allah commands justice and excellence"

The questioner:
And it was something that reached the statement of Allah the Mighty and Majestic: "Indeed, Allah commands justice." And only Allah the Exalted...

The Shaykh:
"Indeed, Allah commands justice," meaning fairness, and giving every right-holder his right. Fairness in opinions, fairness in judgments, judging between people, and fairness in everything, including fairness between children and fairness between wives. All of this is part of fairness and justice. He commands justice; justice is general, and whatever falls under justice, it is obligatory in it. And excellence in worship (ihsan). Excellence in worship between the servant and his Lord is in performing what Allah has made obligatory upon him, and abstaining from what Allah has forbidden for him, and being mindful of Him, Glorified and Exalted is He, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the excellence in worship between the servant and his Lord. Excellence in worship between the servant and people is that he is kind to them: he feeds their hungry, clothes their naked, teaches their ignorant, and helps their needy. This applies to people; we are all of good character. Excellence in worship toward animals and livestock is that you are gentle with them, you do not torment them, you do not starve them, and you do not leave them thirsty. And if you see one of them thirsty or hungry, you give it from the fodder. A woman from the Children of Israel saw a thirsty dog, so she went down into a well and brought out water for it and gave it to drink. So Allah was pleased with that and forgave her; He forgave her this major sin. This is excellence in worship toward animals.
And a woman entered the Fire because of a cat she had confined; she did not feed it, nor did she let it take from the creatures of the earth. This is oppression toward animals and mistreatment of them. So excellence in worship is required in everything. And He forbids obscenity. Obscenity is every sin that is extreme in ugliness. It is said that he was obscene; whatever is extreme in ugliness is obscene. The wrong in the sin against Allah the Mighty and Majestic. It is called "wrong" because the minds reject it. Yes.

Another questioner:
Allah is the Greatest.

The Shaykh:
Without right. And transgression is encroaching upon people, and aggression without right, in their gathering, in their wealth, in their honor. This is transgression. Yes.
