The Basis of Justice in the Words of Imam Reza (A.S)

The nature and the concept of justice is one of the important issues that have been dealt with regarding to God and His acts and also concerning the universe and above all the man and his personal and social actions. There have been made important discussions about justice so far. What have been discussed in this article is studying justice and its nature in the words of Imam Reza (AS). This study has in an analytic-descriptive way propounded this main question: what is the root and the basis of justice in view of Imam Reza (AS)? The secondary questions: Is justice a contract or something genuine and real? How can justice be exercised and fulfilled in individual acts and society? The thesis is that the basis of justice in view of Imam Reza (AS) is a monotheistic truth and it is identified with the pure reality. So, justice is a reality and noumenal, although it is applied in contract issues, too. The only way to fulfill justice in the individual acts is self-refinement and becoming pious, and realization of justice in the social sphere also depends on the implementation of the laws and commands of Allah and being adhered to in the community.
