AMBA strives to manifest the loving nature and nuance of God in our everyday work as legal practitioners. To be loving and affectionate is an attribute of our Creator (11:90), which all humans must seek to manifest. This is especially true for Muslims, for "what is religion except love?" It is our love for God which drives us to serve creation & causes and leads us to our beloved Holy Messenger of Islam, as well as the men and women of his family. “Say, if you love Allah, then follow me…” (3:31). Indeed, all justice is rooted in one's spiritual quest to love God and be God's beloved. But justice requires that Divine love have limits, so God withholds his affection from those who are unjust and transgress Divine bounds (3:32, 3:57).

AMBA is committed to tirelessly defending the natural rights God has assigned to humanity and opposing hatred, injustice, and oppression in all forms. In the Holy Qur'an, God reminds us to be adjudicators of fairness, (4:58), and to eradicate hatred that leads to injustice (5:8); these are essential traits of God-consciousness. The heavens and earth are maintained with justice, which can be defined as giving every holder of rights, their rights. God is the true owner of humankind, as "to Allah belong whatever is in the heaven and whatever is in the earth," (3:109), and only the true owner can delegate and designate rights. Accordingly, justice exists in both our legal systems and in a metaphysical realm.

AMBA pushes attorneys toward compassionate pro bono and public service, and its leaders volunteer endless hours each week to this end. Cultivating empathy for others through the principle of compassion is integral to the life of a Muslim and the work of a lawyer. God prescribes methods for cultivating compassion, each of which inspires lawyers – i.e., assisting refugees, keeping promises, being steadfast in adversity, and liberating those in bondage. (2:178). God is on the side of those who strive to live as compassionate human beings on earth by serving others. (29:70). Public service results from the inculcation of the compassionate heart. Compassion work essentially leads to “goodness,” the reward for which is “nothing but [more] goodness.” (55:61).

AMBA advocates for a legal system which embraces mercy, clemency over severity, and longs for transitional justice as a means to recover from the pain and anguish suffered by both survivors and perpetrators. Muslims begin each action in the name of God, “the Merciful.” The gnosis of God’s mercy eradicates most ills of the heart and the hands. God’s mercy precedes all forms of retaliation. God asks humankind to never despair and to always remember that divine mercy is all-forgiving. (39:53). Forgiveness from the Ultimate Source leads to forgiveness in our hearts for both ourselves and for others. God further promises that if one “repents after iniquity and reforms” herself, God will embrace her in mercy, (5:39), even if she has committed evil deeds. (25:70). And so, no crime is beyond the reach of God’s mercy.
