‘Adil, as mentioned by Syed Naquib al-attas is  placing the right things in its appropriate place. Else, you are consider zhalim. In the recent months, this entire idea of ‘adil, has manifested in my life  in a specific form - giving people all the information they need. The reason why people become reactive sometimes, is not because they perceive that the amount of  money, remunerations or rewards  does not justify the amount of work they do or the punishment they recieve. It is simply due to the  lack of respect and dignity in the manner we treat them, the people who are affected by our decisions.

What we can learn here is that we should take time to explain why we decide on things, else people feel crappy about themselves.  Don’t decide on things if you are not ready to explain, it simply means that you yourself is not prepared to make that decision.
