Seeking Justice and Forgiveness in Islam

In Islam, seeking justice after being wronged is not a sign of weak faith. Allah allows seeking help or justice when someone has been seriously harmed, such as getting legal assistance. Forgiveness is encouraged, but not at the expense of allowing oneself to be wronged. The religion does not promote passivity in the face of wrongdoing, distinguishing it from Christianity's 'turn the other cheek' principle. Seeking justice for oneself is not contradictory to forgiveness in Islam, as long as it is done with patience and reconciliation, ultimately leaving the outcome to Allah.
