It is concluded that in the world today, it would be all right if an obedient person is punished in the Hereafter despite his obedience and virtues and if a sinner is taken to Paradise despite his vices and sins and there is no harm in that Islam orders some people to enjoy worldly pleasures and to deny others of them. As justice and injustice are not real and rational but religious and subject to religion, this order is per se justice.

The view that religion is not subordinate to reason has caused a major change in the Muslim World. Essential Issue of Justice Based on the first view which sees Islamic rules subordinate to real vice and virtue, believing that right and justice are real and that Islam has recognized their reality, we can have an Islamic social philosophy and a set of Islamic laws. We can study the legal principles of Islam and see what is the basis for being rightful and on what base it has established rules.

What are its fundamentals? Then we can use them as our guide in many cases. However, according to the second view, Islam has no social philosophy or legal principles and that it rejects any legal principle. Principle of Justice in Shi’ism For the Shi’ahs, there is no need to prove justice, since it is one of the primary principles and a requirement of the Shiism.

As the old saying goes, “Justice and monotheism are the principles of Alawis and monotheism and assimilation the attributes of Umayyads.” Justice is our main concern here and by monotheism we mean beholding God free from attributes and eliminating discrepancy between the nature and the attributes, but monotheism means lack of freedom and free will. Determinism involves the notion than man has no power of choice. One of the subordinate consequences of justice is free will.

Determinism is a way to reject justice. By assimilation we mean assimilating God to the created beings and attributing their attributes to Him. Primary Fundamentals of Islamic Law Islam has a set of legal principles and established laws based on those principles. As justice is but giving rights to the ones who deserve them, we should realize what the primary principles of Islamic law are as derived from the Holy Qur’an and the instructions of religious leaders.

How is it that some liking develops between man and an object which is called right? If somebody takes that thing away, he is said to have been deprived of his right. What is the origin of this liking? What is the cause of this liking?
