عَدْل
In this scene, Joseph refuses to take an innocent person in place of the guilty one.
قَالَ مَعَاذَ ٱللَّهِ أَن نَّأۡخُذَ إِلَّا مَن وَجَدۡنَا مَتَٰعَنَا عِندَهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذٗا لَّظَٰلِمُونَ
He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allah [to prevent] that we take except him with whom we found our possession. Indeed, we would then be unjust."
Quran, Yusuf 12:79
Joseph's brothers ask him to keep one of them instead of the youngest, because their father is old. Joseph replies that this would be unjust: he can only take the one with whom the goods were found. He associates this action with injustice, which he absolutely avoids. This verse invites us to remain just, even when a request seems pressing or moving. Justice is not negotiated to please.
Today, before making a decision, ask yourself: "Am I treating everyone fairly?" If not, choose justice.
