محوريت اصل «عدل » در كلام شيعه اماميه

The Centrality of the Principle of Adle (Justice) in the Shiite Imamatesʹ Theology (Kalam)

The present article examines the principle of Adle (justice) from the Shiiteʹs point of view. Compared with the other principles, justice is given a unique central position and an argument for unity and infallibility is inferred and put forward. The article then uses the prophet Mohammadʹs (PBUH) sayings as evidence for justice and as support for the answer to the basic questions of ʹthe manʹs expectations from religionʹ and concludes that the most justifiable expectation of a Shiite Muslim from religion is the very promise that religion has made and that is the realization of comprehensive justice, an interpretation which incorporates the other principles.
