Social Injustice in the View of the Holy Quran (with Emphasis on Al-Mizan Commentary)

Stratification and injustice are among the obvious inevitable, deep-rooted social realities in every society. Sociologists present different views on this issue, and the main views are two macro-theories called conflictism and functionalism. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the present paper expounds the general views of the Quran on this issue, giving special attention to Al-Mizan Commentary and the late 'Allamah Tabatabaii's views. Among the results of this study are providing a critical approach to some of the views discussed in sociology and evaluating these views in the light of Quranic teachings.
