The Evolution of Fiqh(1.4.4 The Realization of Universal Justice)

Islamic legislation considers all humans the same
 with regards to their obligation to submit to the divine laws  
and in  their responsibility for breaking them.
The laws mentioned in the Qur’aan are all general, 
making no distinction between 

one group or another.  “Allaah has enjoined justice 
and righteousness.” Soorah an-Nahl (16):90.

“Allaah commands you to return your trusts to

whom they are due, and when you judge between

one man and another, that you judge justly.”
Soorah an-Nisaa (4): 58.

“Oh you who believe, stand out firmly for Allaah

as witnesses to fair dealing. And do not let the

hatred of a people cause you not to be just. Be

just: for it is closer to piety, and fear Allaah for

verily Allaah is well aware of whatever you do.”
Soorah al-Maa’idah (5): 9.
 

During the era of the prophet hood, a woman from the

powerful tribe of Makhzoom stole some jewelry and 
confessed to the crime when the case was brought before 
the Prophet (s.w.).
Her tribesman wanted to avoid the shame 
of having the Qur’anic punishment applied to her,
  so they asked Usaamah ibn Zayd who

was close to the Prophet (s.w.) to intercede on her behalf.
 When Usaamah approached the Prophet (s.w.),
 he became very angry with him and said, 
“Do you dare to intercede in one of Allaah’s fixed

punishment?” He then called the people together and delivered 
a sermon in which he said, “The people before you were 
destroyed because they let the nobles go when they stole,
 but applied Allaah’s fixed punishment on the weak when they stole. 
By Allaah, if my own daughter, Faatimah, stole I would
 cut  off her hand.”
