No One Above the Law
3:161 Even the prophet cannot take more of the spoils of war than he is entitled to. Anyone who takes more than his rightful share will have to account for it on the Day of Resurrection. That is when each soul is paid for whatever it earned, without the least injustice.
How does the expression “no one above the law” apply to the average person’s daily life?
In life we will at some point have status above others by becoming employers, managers, coaches, parents etc. At that point will you abide by the same moral laws as your subordinates or consider yourself exempt or having the ability of having a free pass. It takes real integrity to abide by the laws when you are in a position of authority to skirt the laws.
