Unhappy Can anybody tell me pleasssssssssssssssssssse

I chose some ayats from Quran for the topic of Justice,That is,

"O you who believe! Be upright for Allah, bearers of witness with justice, and let not hatred of a people incite you not to act equitably; act equitably, that is nearer to piety, and he careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is Aware of what you do".(5:8)

Can I shorten it to just,

...And let not the hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety....(5:8).

And not to write the whole phrase and put dots there which means there is something before and after that ayat. And write just the main phrase from it or I need to write down the whole phrase.
Can somebody please tell me how is my answer to the question of "What is justice". Please give me guidence if something is wrong or I have to do it different. Plsssssssssssssssssss.

"God enjoins justice and kindess, and giving to kinsfolk, and forbids indecency and abomination and wickedness."
[surah Nahl; 16:90]

There are two great pillars which support the whole edifice of Islam. These are Peace and Justice. They are clearly connected since there can be no enduring peace without justice. The very word °Isläm comes from the same verbal root as saläm meaning “peace” and, since the religion is based upon total submission to the will of God, Muslims believe that real peace is out of reach unless it is based upon this submission within the universal order. They believe equally that there can be no real justice except as an aspect of submission to the source of all that is just and well ordered.
Although God in Himself is beyond comprehension or analysis, the Qur’an gives us hints as to His true nature through what are called “the 99 names” and one of these is al-ªAdl, “the Just”. Another of these names is al-Muqsiö, “the Dispenser of Justice” or “He who gives to each thing its due”.

“O you who believe! Be firm in justice as witnesses for God, even in cases against yourselves, your parents or your kin"
[surah Nisa; 4: 135]

“And if you give your word, you must be just, even though it be against your kin, and fulfils the covenant of God. For that is what He has Commanded you that you may remember."
[surah An'am; 6: 152]


Islam is a religion of justice. God has said:
“Truly God commands you to give back trusts to those to whom they are due, and when you judge between people, to judge with justice; surely Allah admonishes you with what is excellent; surely Allah is Seeing, Hearing.
(Quran, 4:58)
And He has said:
 ...And act justly. Truly, God loves those who are just. 
(Quran, 49:9)
We should even be just with those who we hate, as God has said:
 ...And let not the hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety.... 
(Quran, 5:8)
The Prophet Muhammad (PBHU) said:
{People, beware of injustice, for injustice shall be darkness on the Day of Judgment.}
(Al-Bukhari)

And those who have not gotten their rights (i.e. what they have a just claim to) in this life will receive them on the Day of Judgment, as the Prophet said:
{On the Day of Judgment, rights will be given to those to whom they are due (and wrongs will be redressed)...}
(Saheeh Muslim)

EXAMPLES:
1. In ancient times, it was unthinkable for a girl of noble birthor even of any free person, to be married to a slave. The Prophet, wishing to break with this tradition, decided to arrange a marriage between his own first cousin, Zaynab bint Jahash (d. 20 AH), who belonged to the Banu Hashim, the most respectable clan of the Quraysh tribe, and Zayd ibn Haritha, a black Negro slave. This most extraordinary event served as an important example of Islamic justice.
2. The Ka'aba, the most holy place of worship, was considered sacrosanct in all its parts. Therefore, when the call to prayer had to be made from its roof, it was only a person of noble birth who could ascend it. A man of lowly birth performing this religious duty was not be countenanced. After the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet broke with this tradition by asking a Negro slave, Bilal ibn Rubah to go up on to the roof of the Ka'aba and give the call to prayer (Azan).
3. Ali ibn abi Talib, the fourth caliph, lost his coat of armor. One day he saw a Christian of Kufa selling the same coat of armor. This case was brought to the then Qazi Shurayh bin al Alharith. Ali went to his court like a commoner where he was asked by the Qazi to produce two witnesses. Ali then brought forward his son Hasan and his slave Qambar. The Qazi rejected the evidence of his son on the grounds that the evidence of a son in support of his father is not acceptable. Thus the reigning Caliph lost his case. However, the Christian was so greatly impressed at the display of such equality in the court of Islam between the king and commoner, that he himself admitted that Ali was right. The coat of armor did belong to him (Azmath-e-Sahaba, pp. 32-33).
4. Once during the reign of ‘Umar Faruq, the second Caliph, Amr ibn al-Aas, who was then governor of Egypt, arranged a horse race in which his own son, Muhammed ibn Amr, was to participate. But when his son's horse lost to a young native Copt, the enraged son lashed the Copt boy with a whip, saying, "Take that! That will teach you to beat the son of a nobleman!" The Copt youth complained to the Caliph in Medina, who called an inquiry. When it was found that the beating was unjust, he immediately sent an emissary to summon the governor and his son from Egypt. When they arrived, Caliph Umar Faruq handed the Copt boy a whip to flog the guilty party, just as he himself had been flogged.

Thus in the presence of governor Amr ibn al-Aas, the Copt boy whipped his son, stopping only when he was satisfied that the punishment was sufficient. Then the Caliph himself addressed the governor, saying: "O Amr, since when have you enslaved people who were born free? (Azmat-e-Sahaba, pp. 40-41)

IMPORTANCE OF JUSTICE:

Islam attaches the highest importance to justice. In fact, Divine Justice is the backbone of the whole act of creation. The balance and the due proportion evident in the heavens and the earth are a manifestation of Allah’s (God’s) Justice.
Allah commands us in the Qur’an to do good and to avoid shameful deeds, injustice, and rebellion. He commands us to be just, even if we hate a people.
