Beschreibung
• Shiite Justice Discourse is going to explain the Shiite Idea about the relevance of justice and deals with some important topics such as: “justice as concept and principle”, “the green garden of justice”, „justice as a world-encompassing existence principle”, “the basis of the Islamic State”, “guarantee for sustainable peace”, “the ability of the human being for social justice”, “justice and mercy” “justice and the Shiite future prospects and future shaping”, “non-violent form of power”, “the Imam of justice”, “Imam Mahdi (a) and the implementation of just Peace”. It examined its relationship to worship and in social and economic matters. Shia Islam made justice the criterion of all things and on the way to achieve true happiness and plausible faith on the basis of it. To achieve it, the justice should be and is both the origin of being and the foundation of creation. Through its discourse on justice, Shia Islam will both succeed in guiding man and prepare for the future. Yes, this is a calling, but at the same time it represents a challenge for Shia Islam to be more consistent than ever in transporting its theories of justice into the real world or transforming them from theory into practice.
This volume of the series “Shia Islam” has been written to present the basic viewpoints of Shia Islam on justice, which are of particular importance in our age:
• to be presented transparently,
• to show the way to her,
• to follow her faithfully,
• become familiar with her as the basis for peace,
• to promote good human coexistence.
The topic is treated here neither from a secular nor from a revelatory religious perspective, but exclusively from the perspective of Shia Islam. Justice, i.e. “Idalah”, is explained by the word “Adl”, which is used both as a term and as a principle. As a term, justice has two main definitions, namely:
1. to give each one what is his right.
2. to put him in the place he deserves.
Because of the importance of justice and its study to explain the balance and its share in creation, as well as the recognition of the attributes of the sublime Creator (“that He is just and reigns with justice), it has been repeatedly emphasized in Islam. Two important words of:
• justice (العدل) and
• balance/equality (القسط)
were used to express the concept of justice more accurately. Traditionally – and also in this book - justice has been / is divided into the following main titles:
• divine justice,
• individual justice, and
• social justice.
“Justice as the Basis of Guidance”, “the Basis of the Islamic State”, “guarantee for just peace”, “the Basis of the Worl Order”, “the Imam of justice”, “justice and the Shiite future prospects” and “Imam Mahdi (a) and the implementation of just peace” are some topics of this book.
