The constitutional justice and constitutional judges period 2003-2008, as well as employees of the Constitutional Court break the fast on Friday (12 / 8), in the Auditorium Building the Constitutional Court. Present at the event include the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, Moh. Mahfud MD, Harjono, Muhammad Alim, and Anwar Usman. There are also the Secretary General of the Constitutional Court Janedjri M. Gaffar and Registrar of the Court Kasianur Sidauruk.

On that occasion, Judge Mohammed Alim asked to give a lecture before the break. "Because the orders Mr. Chairman, I carried out with all my heart," Alim joked starting his lecture. Alim’s lecture touched on many times this fair and justice both in the perspective of Islamic teachings and perspective of western thought

According to Alim, in the teachings of Islam, known as al ‘adl. Simply put, al ‘adl is the same. If it is contextualized into the judicial process, all litigants should be treated equally and equitably. "It means there should be no difference," he said. While a few other words that is almost equal to al ‘adl is al qisth and al mizan. Al qisth original meaning is ‘part’ (which is reasonable and proper). While al mizan derived from the root word wazn meaning scales.

Alim explained that the law tends to equalize, while it distinguishes justice. In formal laws, all rules apply equally to everyone regardless of anything. However, when talking about justice, then other factors must be considered. For example, a thief who steals out of necessity be different from the punishment and its consideration by the thieves who took deliberate without any conditions force." Problems are calculated individually," he said.

He also stated, as long as this Court seeks to establish substantive justice. That is in line with Islamic teachings. According to him, justice is close to the faith "If the Court decide the fairest then this is a manifestation of devotion," he said.(Dodi / mh/Yazid.tr)
