Justice in creation
God bestows upon each existent entity that which is appropriate to it, never depriving it of the receptivity inherent in its nature; this receptivity being determined at the plane of effusion of Being, and in the invisible dimension in which the act of bestowing existence occurs. As the Qur'an says:
He said, ‘Our Lord is He who gave everything its creation and then guided it.’ (Sura Ta' Ha, 20:50)
Justice in religious dispensation
God guides man -as he is endowed with the capacity to acquire spiritual perfection- by sending Messengers to establish religious laws. He does not impose upon man obligations that go beyond his capacity. As the Qur'an says:
Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded. (Sura al-Nahl, 16:90)
Since justice, kindness and generosity contribute to human perfection, while the other three elements mentioned contribute to man's downfall, the first three qualities have been made obligatory, and the second three are prohibited. Likewise, as regards man not being charged with religious obligations that are beyond his capacity, the Qur'an says:
And We charge no soul except [with that within] its capacity, and with Us is a record which speaks with truth; and they will not be wronged.(Sura al-Mu'minun, 23:62)
Justice in recompense
When it comes to apportioning reward and punishment, God never treats the believer in the same way as the disbeliever, the good in the same way as the bad; rather, He gives each person an appropriate, fitting recompense: Accordingly, God will never punish a people whose religious obligations have not been revealed by means of divinely-guided Messengers, and who have not, consequently, received the full force of the divine proof.

As the Qur'an says:
We never punish until We have sent a Messenger. (Sura Bani Isrii'il, 17:15)
And also:
And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant. (Sura al-Anbiya', 21:47)
