Supreme Justice
A nationwide effort to make justice supreme for all Americans, irrespective of color or race.
Supreme Justice in Islam
O ye who believe! be steadfast in the cause of Allah, bearing witness in equity; and let not a people’s enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be always just, that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah. Surely, Allah is aware of what you do.
"Neither an Arab has superiority over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab over an Arab. No white person is superior to a black person, nor is any black person superior to a white person."
"Be strict in observing justice and bear witness only for the sake of Allah, even if it should occasion loss to you or your parents or your kinsmen or sons, etc. Let not the enmity of a people towards you incite you to injustice or falsehood."

About the Campaign
Since a Minnesota police officer murdered George Floyd on Memorial Day 2020, America has been reeling from the stings of injustice and racism, which though endemic for many years, has come to the forefront of our national conscience.
America is now reckoning with a deep national wound that has festered for hundreds of years. Despite the founding declaration that all men are created equal, communities of color have faced centuries of systematic, brutal injustices. People of color have endured legal persecution in the form of slavery, Jim Crow laws, and now mass incarceration for low-level crimes.
The highly publicized incidents of police brutality against George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Jacob Blake are a stark reminder that racial inequality is a daily fact of life for millions of black Americans and other people of color. So, too, the devastating impact of the Covid19 epidemic on communities of color has laid bare vast racially based social disparities in the United States.
Even as protests roil America’s cities, lasting change is possible only through the political process, wherein communities of color must overcome significant barriers—including felon disenfranchisement—that impede voting and representation. As incidents of brutality continue and racial tensions escalate, many fear that indifference, and injustice, will continue to prevail.
In this moment of crisis, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA—the nation’s oldest Muslim organization—believes that to heal the nation’s trauma, Americans must commit themselves to the principle of Supreme Justice. Nearly 1400 years ago, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated: “No white person is superior to a black person, nor is any black person superior to a white person.”
Absolute equality is an essential prerequisite to justice. His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, has explained: “The requirements of justice are only fulfilled when all parties and all persons are treated equally.”
Supreme Justice rejects the claim that the white race, or any race, is supreme. Instead, Supreme Justice demands absolute equal treatment of all people irrespective of race or color.

True Justice and Peace
The root cause of the unrest in the world today is due to a lack of justice found at every level of society. In this book, His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad explains that only by recognizing our Creator can humankind hope to establish true justice and usher in an era of individual, communal, and global peace.
Absolute Justice, Kindness & Kinship
All around us, the principle of absolute justice is at work, guiding the steps of evolution and governing the functions of each individual. Absolute justice, the author argues, is the perfect balance that forms the very foundation of life as we know it. It is this balance which leads to the harmony we witness in the laws of nature, a harmony which was the basis of Einsteins’s belief in a Supreme Creator.
