Why is Justice Regarded One of the Origins of Religion?
In reply, that relates to the
following causes:
Firstly: Justice is the foremost attribute which relates to Allah, the Almighty, from which many other attributes of His Almighty stem as justice, generally speaking, means adjusting things in their proper places and on justice alone relies so many attributes like: All-wise, Sustainer and the like.
Secondly: By the same term of 'justice' we can prove the truth of the prophet-hood, Imamate and the verification of 'resurrection' as there is a link or a relationship between (prophet-hood and justice) as divine justice necessitates the sending of prophets to guide mankind as confirmed in the following verse: "Then, We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning)"(Al-Isra:15).
There is also a relationship between: (Justice and Imamate) The existence of the divine justice necessitates the presence of the Imams after the Prophet to guarantee the establishment of justice and the application of the judgments of the legislature and the maintenance of the obligations of the divine message and that there should be extension to the divine message which is capable of nourishing the new society with religious thought after the absence of the Prophet.
Thirdly: The link between (return to God and justice) as justice in this case demands certitude of gaining the divine justice to differentiate between the obedient and the disobedient. Had there not been justice on Doomsday, the whole rights of mankind would have been lost altogether since Allah created man on earth up to the last one on earth and this is a defective matter and Allah, to Whom be ascribed all glory and perfection, can't be characterized as bearing such negative traits.
Through the interrelation between justice and the other divine attributes it has become crystal clear the great significance of justice among other attributes and how justice is to be looked upon as one of the origins of religion.
