The U.S. Harvard University, one of the most prestigious institutions in the world, has placed a Quran verse at the entrance of its faculty of law.
Described by the institution as one of the greatest expressions of justice in history, Verse 135 of Surah Al Nisa (The Women Chapter) is dedicated to humanity as the best expression defending and articulating justice.
“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted.” Surat An Nisa 4: 135
According to the Saudi Arabic language daily Ajel, a Saudi Student at Harvard published the picture of the verse on his Twitter page.
“I noticed that the verse was posted by the faculty of law, which described it as one of the greatest expressions for justice in history,” Abdullah Jumma said.
Justice quotations were selected among 150 contributions from law school faculty, staff and students. Yet, the three unanimously appreciated and displayed at the faculty entrance are quotes taken from St. Augustine, the Holy Quran and the Magna Carta.
According to the official website of the university, The Words of Justice exhibition is a clear sign of humanity’s craving for fairness on this earth.
At present, visitors to Harvard, researchers in particular, have the chance to identify themselves with the best articulations of justice since time immemorial.
Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, was founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1636.

The divine connection of the noble Quran is all too obvious. It is indeed the message from Allah – the Almighty creator of the universe or else - how one can explain the miracle of an unlettered man to convey such profoundly just and enlightening communication not to mention scientific facts stated in Quran - that are being confirmed now - thousands years after! I am sure any open minded person may realize the truth. Glory to Allah and all praises be to Him and blessings and peace be on the prophet.

Sayyed Qub ra writes in his Tafseer - Fi dhilal el quran that " islam is a Deen- way of life- when there is no one to convey its message, Quran will impose itself upon people". This is exactly what happened here. People of fair conscience recognising the truth and divinity of quranic universal messages. Allaho Akbar
