Humanity Quote by Nafisa Haji

“The only law that means anything - that can have anything to do with God - is one that is alive and that strives for justice given the circumstances of the present. Otherwise, the law is merely something dead, a weapon in the hands of those with power. Against those with none.” quote by Nafisa Haji — Download Open image
