Contents Justice: One of the Goals of the Prophetic Missions Justice Runs through the Entire Universe Justice: One of the Goals of the Prophetic Missions Th Holy Quran states that upholding justice is one of the goals of prophetic missions. However, it must be noted that the Holy Qur’an states this along with two major principles.

Firstly, the Holy Qur’an regards the Cosmos as being on the axis of justice – we shall treat this later – secondly, the upholding of justice is considered as the intermediate mission of the prophets, not their ultimate goal: Thus, on the axis of truth, justice is not located in the beginning to be considered as the beginning nor is it located in the end to be regarded as the ultimate goal.

As to justice being one of the goals of the prophetic missions, the Holy Quran states, “Indeed sent We our apostles and clear proofs and sent We down with them the Book and the scale that people may establish themselves in justice. (1)” However, it must be noted that the talk has been diverted here after some processes.

Prior to this, the Holy Qur’an considered God as the upholder of justice and introduced the angels as the witnesses to the oneness of the just Lord, “God is witness that there is no God save Him and the angels and men of learning (too are witness) maintaining His creation in justice, there is no God save Him, the Almighty, the Wise . (2) In this verse, the oneness of God is united with the justice of creation.

In other words, as God is the upholder of justice, it shows the oneness of God, for if this origin was organized before this, harmony, order, and justice would leave the cosmos and everything would decide its own fate. Then, the law and justice did not manifest themselves so that God founded His work upon it, but justice is begotten by His work: and He is the Heart of justice. As the scholars see this justice, they testify to the oneness of God.

This means that justice is not located at the beginning of that line. On the other hand, justice is not the ultimate goal of the prophets. The Holy Qur’an regards middlemen justice as the goal of the prophetic mission.
