Adl

[1] Adil (Arabic: عادل, romanized: ʻādil), and Adeel (Arabic: عديل, romanized: ʻadīl) are male names derived from ʻadl and are common throughout the Muslim world.

Adl, as used by early theorists of Islamic jurisprudence, referred to an aspect of an individual's character.

In a hadith, Islamic prophet Muhammad said that, the meaning of wasat (moderation) is adl (justice).

The origin of the modern Persian family name Adl is from the titles of nobility given to Iranian jurists at the end of the 19th century, that were related by family ties.

Notably, these jurists included Mirza Husain Noori Tabarsi, also known as "Hossein Shah", whose title was ʻAdl al-Mulk "Justice of the Kingdom", Sayyid Mirza Ebrahim Khalil, whose title was Rukn al-Idalah "Pillar of Justice", and Mirza Mostafa Khan Adl, whose title was Mansur al-Saltanah "Victorious of the Empire".
