Moral Awakenings in the Pursuit of Justice

Ask any Muslim and they’ll tell you that Islam’s rituals and guidelines are grounded in a deeper moral code that we learn from the Qur’an and Sunnah. When taught properly, that morality settles in our hearts and whenever we see something wrong, we can feel it even if we are not sure what to call it. Islamic morality compels each of us to work for the restoration of justice. Throughout our history, this deep morality has given rise to institutions that have sought to restore justice and right wrongs at a systemic level. So for Muslims in America, what cause does our morality compel us pursue? Have we felt that moral awakening in our hearts or are we still dormant with the comforts of life?
