What is your opinion of the one who defines justice as “a quality that compels its possessor to be mindful of Allah, avoid sins, and preserve his dignity in the eyes of people”?

The questioner : What is your opinion of the definition of justice as a quality that compels its possessor to be mindful of Allah, avoid sins, and preserve his dignity in the eyes of people?

The Shaykh : We do not say it is a quality, because a person may be making an effort and obeying Allah (Mighty and Majestic) until he becomes just. However, to call it a quality means it is a nature or instinct, and I do not believe in that.
