IT IS A DUTY TO STOP INJUSTICE

Why Holy Quran says it is your duty to stop injustice? These three verses (115 to 117) in Chapter 11 make things clear:

115. And be steadfast in patience;
For verily God will not suffer
The reward of the righteous
To perish.

116. If only there had been
Of the generations before you,
Humans of righteousness
Who prohibited humans
From mischief in the earth
(But there were none)
Except a few among them
Whom we saved (from harm)
But the wrong-doers pursued
The enjoyment of the good things
Of life which were given to them,
And persisted in sin.

117. Nor would thy Lord be
The One to destroy
The towns unjustly
While their people are
Righteous.

These words are worth contemplating these days.
