The first chapter presents a study of the viewpoints on the theory of justice in ancient times, the orient and modern west.


The second chapter dissects the different dimensions of the concept of 'idalah (justice) in Islam in view of its noble source, the Holy Qur'an.


The third chapter attempts to expound on the viewpoints of one of the greatest and most striking contemporary thinkers and political leaders of the world of Islam, Imam Khomeini , providing an overview of the issue of 'idalah within the frame of a special theory.


Imam Khomeini, as a religious thinker who was abreast of current comprehensive perception of religion and rational-mystical attitude to religion and politics and a historical understanding of the needs and developments of the society and its requirements embarked on reviving the attitude of Islam towards all dimensions of human life.


He managed to present a general and exhaustive perspective of the genuine Islam of Muhammad (PBUH), borrowing his words, and pursuing social and political action based on it.
