INTRODUCTION Justice is one of the four cardinal values and virtues. It is treated as one of the primary values and Ethico-Socio-Political-Legal and religious concepts. It is a highly fascinating and bewildering concept and has been variously discussed by the philosophers. Legal experts and socio-religious thinkers and interpreters of the religious texts have been playing a very crucial and critical role in the civilizational development of man. In the present work, various dimensions of the meanings and applications of justice have been discussed. Man is profoundly and inextricably rooted in history. His history itself is rooted in pre-history. It will take large-scale investigations to somewhat bring out our rootedness in history and pre-history. Whatever empirical historical investigations have been available to us, reveal that human history is red in tooth and claw. Historical investigations inform us about insurmountable and excruciating amounts of suffering negotiated by human beings. They have negotiated incalculable oppression, suppression, exploitation and injustice. Countless people have been enslaved across history and globe. Human beings have undergone a long-drown-out biological and cultural evolution. There are many theories with regard to the origin and development of man. All these theoretical perspectives advance their justificatory grounds which have been analyzed and criticized on genuine grounds by various thinkers. These theoretical perspectives are neither empirically verifiable nor mathematically demonstrable. They are not statements of fact but interpretative formulations. We can only appreciate the merits and demerits of these large-scale theological, cosmological and anthropological perspectives. However, scientists, paleontologists, anthropologists and historians have assembled vast data, powerfully indicating that man has negotiated millions of years of biological and cultural evolution. We do not have any definite accounts of the times and climes of man's post-evolutionary phase. However, what can be readily admitted is that his post-evolutionary phase of the struggle for existence must have been as indomitable as his pre-evolutionary biological evolution. The ancient human beings survived on wild fruits, leaves, vegetables, hunting, and fishing. This must

From its roots in the Qur’an and the life of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to its branches in contemporary political and social movements, Islam has always been concerned with the question of social justice. The promise of a just order on earth has motivated both the reflections of the community of scholars and the actions of Muslims who have striven to realize it within their societies. Despite the disappointments that history has often delivered, the hope for justice remains undimmed as does the struggle to achieve it today. This concise volume focuses on some of the ways that the theme of justice is explored in emerging currents of Islamic thought. Chapters discuss new theological and ethical proposals in the light of contemporary philosophical developments; ideas of gender justice that provoke a reformist challenge to the received tradition; and regional contexts, such as Turkey, Iran and Japan, in which the question of Islam’s relationship to justice is sharpened by the particularities of history and locale. The contributions to this collection raise the prospect that if justice can be imagined more perfectly as an Islamic ideal, perhaps it can be brought into reality.

This book explains a perspective on the system of justice that emerges in Islam if rules are followed and how the Islamic system is differentiated from the conventional thinking on justice. It examines conceptions of justice from the Enlightenment to Bentham to Rawls to contemporary philosophers including Sen, Cohen, Nussbaum, and Pogge. The authors present the views of twentieth century Muslim thinkers on justice who see Muslims upholding rituals but not living according to Qur’anic rules. It provides empirical surveys of the current state of justice in Muslim countries analyzing the economic, social, and political state of affairs. The authors conclude by assessing the state of justice-injustice in Muslim countries and highlighting areas in need of attention for justice to prevail.

A political theorist teases out the century-old ideological transformation at the heart of contemporary discourse in Muslim nations undergoing political change. The Arab Spring precipitated a crisis in political Islam. In Egypt Islamists have been crushed. In Turkey they have descended into authoritarianism. In Tunisia they govern but without the label of “political Islam.” Andrew March explores how, before this crisis, Islamists developed a unique theory of popular sovereignty, one that promised to determine the future of democracy in the Middle East. This began with the claim of divine sovereignty, the demand to restore the sharīʿa in modern societies. But prominent theorists of political Islam also advanced another principle, the Quranic notion that God’s authority on earth rests not with sultans or with scholars’ interpretation of written law but with the entirety of the Muslim people, the umma. Drawing on this argument, utopian theorists such as Abū’l-Aʿlā Mawdūdī and Sayyid Quṭb released into the intellectual bloodstream the doctrine of the caliphate of man: while God is sovereign, He has appointed the multitude of believers as His vicegerent. The Caliphate of Man argues that the doctrine of the universal human caliphate underpins a specific democratic theory, a kind of Islamic republic of virtue in which the people have authority over the government and religious leaders. But is this an ideal regime destined to survive only as theory?
