Lesson one hundred seventeen :One hour of justice

The Prophet( S. A. )said:

عَدْلُ ساعَةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عِبادَةِ سَنَةٍ!

Translation

One hour of justice is better than one year of worship..

Brief description

Worship is the same relation of creature with creator and Possible' with Necessary' and paying attention to this relation and connection. Those worships are important educational lessons which have an effective role on correcting man's spirit and mind.

However, we read in the above tradition, one hour of justice is better and higher than one year of( recommended )worship.

And somewhere else we read one hour of thinking and meditation is higher than one night( or one year )of worship. And these expressions show the critical importance of justice and meditation, both having a common origin. Wherever there is not justice, there is not thinking, meditation and wisdom.
