Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) placed a significant emphasis on justice and fairness in all aspects of life.

The saying, “Give the worker his wages before his sweat dries,” highlights the importance of prompt and fair compensation for labor. It advocates for the dignity and rights of workers.
“Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler” encourages believers to avoid becoming overly attached to worldly possessions and to focus on the eternal life in the hereafter. This perspective fosters a sense of justice and contentment.
“Removing a harmful thing from the way is charity” reinforces the idea that acts of goodness and fairness can take many forms, including simple acts of removing obstacles from the path to prevent harm.

Prophet Muhammad’s teachings on justice and fairness serve as a guide for a just and equitable society, reflecting the principles of Islam.
