‘Be Witnesses Unto God’ 4:135
An-Nisa’ – 4:135
Arabic
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٰمِينَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ شُهَدَآءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَوِ ٱلۡوَٰلِدَيۡنِ وَٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَۚ إِن يَكُنۡ غَنِيًّا أَوۡ فَقِيرًا فَٱللَّهُ أَوۡلَىٰ بِهِمَاۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ أَن تَعۡدِلُوا۟ۚ وَإِن تَلۡوُۥٓاْ أَوۡ تُعۡرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا
What does it mean to be witnesses unto God? Is it to proclaim the truthfulness of God and his religion? Or is it that, when you are bearing witness to the truth- mention God’s name and remember that he is there?

Refer to this video

So it is telling us to not only believe in our hearts but to proclaim it. But is this just for munafiqeen of that time then?
-
Oh- so when we are proclaiming the truth we are basically doing it to be on the side of God rather than injustice- makes sense!
جزاكم الله خيرا

And by truth it means truth of the religion Islam? Why is this? Shouldn’t it mean that at all points of justice we are giving the testimony to be in God’s side?
-
In my fragile opinion, this is the background of ayah. The ruling is still applicable. As there is no other verse which can be used to cancel its ruling.
For ur other point, (Again fragile opinion)Since justice is attribute of Allah. So doing justice in every sense is meant here. As it says do justice even against ur relatives.
these are my opinion a scholar can give better explanation.
