இஸ்லாமிய வரலாற்றில் சமூக நீதியும் அதற்கான முன்மாதிரிகளும் : ஒரு பகுப்பாய்வு

Abstract

Justice is the highest attribute in human history. The concept of ‘adl’ (justice) in Islam is a fundamental principle that pervades all human behavior, and many verses of the Qur’an describe the righteous conduct (‘adl’). The Qur'an is of the opinion that righteous conduct is the inevitable basis of human life. On the contrary, justice is neglected in the practical life and the injustice is prevailing everywhere. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how the judicial guidelines of Islam were implemented in the Islamic history. Accordingly, this study examines judicial role models who implemented and dispensed justice as per the teachings of Islam. Finally, this study asserts that the justice is achievable in the practical life of everyone. As this study is based on the qualitative method, it draws on the basic sources of Islam and historical documents. This study can contribute to inculcate the exemplary behaviors propounded by the Islamic text on social justice.
