Influence of theological presumption in interpretation of the meaning of Divine justice with emphasis on Nahj al-Balagha's sciences

Both Shi’a and the Mu’tazilah to believe in the inherent good and evil deeds, are called Adliya (devotees of Divine Justice); but there are fundamental differences between the two sects, which make them to have different perception of meaning Divine Justice. The most important distinction between the Shi’a and the Mu’tazilah in regard to issue of Divine Justice is debate on monotheistic actions. Mu’tazilah deny the monotheistic actions. They regard it incompatible with the absolute freedom of man in their actions in the world. So, accepting of “opposites makes known each other”, they regard Divine Justice as denial of absolute freedom of man. In other words, presupposition of absolute freedom of man causes denial of Divine Justice. In contrast, by denying absolute freedom of man and believing in “Al- amr bein al-amrein’, Shiite accept monotheistic actions of man and also regard such a thing as Divine Justice. The Shia also with this presumption explain the meaning of Divine Justice. Certainly the best resource for Shia in this case is Nahj al-Balagha, which present such distinct sense of justice for investigators.
