Although all Muslims believe in the justice of Allah but there is a difference of opinion among scholars or Muslim sects on its interpretations.

In this article, we shall discuss the meaning of justice, the reason why justice is considered among the fundamentals of religion, and the difference between justice and equality. Contents 1.

In this study, before anything else, this point must be made clear as to why the great ‘Ulama consider justice, one of God’s Qualities, to be a principle among the five fundamentals of religion. God is the Knower (‘Alim), Powerful (Qadir), Just (‘Adil), Wise (Hakim), Merciful (Rahman), Compassionate (Rahim), Primordial (Azali), Eternal (Abadi), Creator (Khaliq) and Sustainer (Razzaq). Why was only justice selected from among all of these and it became one of the five fundamentals of religion?

In response to this important question, several points should be noted: A- Among God’s Qualities, justice is so important that many other Qualities return to it because justice in the general, extensive sense means ‘putting everything in its place’. Here, then, Hakim, Razzaq, Rahman and Rahim, and similar Qualities, are all dependent upon it.

B- Resurrection – just as we have previously mentioned – is related to Divine Justice as well as the mission of the Prophet and the responsibility of the Imams. C- At the beginning of Islam, a difference of opinion arose over the issue of the justice of the Creator: A group of Sunni Muslims, who were called the Ash’arites, completely denied God’s justice. They said that justice and oppression make no sense in relation to God. He is the Ruler of all of the created universe.

It belongs to Him and whatever He does, is just. They did not even believe in the intellect’s good and evil. They said, “Our intellect alone cannot distinguish between good and bad, even the goodness of doing good or the evil of oppression …” and many of similar errors.
