Famaniz turra fii makh masatin, gayra mutajaa nifil liismin fa innalaaha Gafuurur Rahim. Whoever is forced by hunger, not by will, to sin, Allah is Forgiving Merciful. This shows the infinite concern Allah has for the poor and the helpless, that He is willing to pardon a sin committed under helplessness. The reverse side is a message to man, that the best way to please Allah is to look after those who are helpless. To work towards a just society becomes the ideal for a Muslim, especially one gifted with wisdom, compassion and high leadership qualities. This is best expressed in 6, 166:
Wa huwal lazii ja alakum khalaaa ifal arzi wa rafaa bazakum fawka bazin darajaa tilli yabluwakum fii maaa aataakum. He has placed you as viceroys of the earth, raising some of you in rank above others, that He may try you in the gifts He has given you.
The divine command for a just and fair society is more sharply presented in (2,177):
Laysal birra antuwalluu wujuuhakum qibalal Mashriqi wal Magribi wa laakinnal
birra man aamana billaahi wal Yawmil Aakhiri wal malaaa ikati wal kitaabi wan nabiyyiin wa aatal maala alaa hubbihii zawil qurbaa wal yataamaa wal masaakiina wabnas sabiili was saaailiina wa fir riqaab,. wa aqaamas Salaata wa aataz Zakaah;wal muufuuna biahbdihim izaa aahaduu; was saabiriina fil basaaa i wazzarraaa i wa hiinal bas .Ulaaa ikallaziina sadaquu: wa ulaaa ika humul Muttaquun..
