Work as an advocate in Islam is a form of helping others in goodness and piety. As stated in the Quran, "And please-menolonglah you in the (working) virtue and piety, and do not help one in sin and transgression. And fear ye Allah, verily Allah is severe in punishment. (Surah al-Maidah: 2).

Prophet Muhammad also explained, Anas. said, "The Prophet SAW said," Help your brother who commits injustice or who have been wronged! '. then, a man asked,' I help him if he is oppressed, but how do I help him if he do wrong? 'Prophet replied,' Thou prevent or forbid wrongdoing then that form of help. '"(Bukhari and Muslim, it lafadz Bukhari).

'"(Reported by Ibn Majah and al-Hakim).

Thus, the main task of a lawyer is to uphold justice and convey the rights to those entitled to receive it. He must help the judge in order to see clearly the case and of all its aspects so that the judge can decide the case fairly. And, do not advocate that can reverse the judge's decision in favor of one of the litigants without evidence and strong arguments.

In addition, forbidden to advocate the opposite effect, ie flipping reversal fact, falsify testimony, or bribe the judges to win clients. In fact, he knows his client is guilty and should be punished. It is reminded by the Prophet Muhammad in the Hadith. Umm Salamah narrated from the Prophet SAW, he said, "I'm only human and you actually disagree with me, and probably most of you are more eloquent argument than others. Then, I menghukumi for him based on what I heard. So, whoever I have decided his case, by giving a portion of his rights, he should not take it because I actually decided for him a piece of Fire. "(Bukhari and Muslim).
