N2  - Abstract:The concept of justice has always been one of the central issues thathave occupied the minds of many philosophers, social scientists and political writers from the ancient tothe modern times. So far most of the studies appear tohave focused on the meaning and definition of this pivotal concept, as well asits social, economic and political implications. Several prominent Muslimphilosophers in the past, such as al-KindÊ, al-FÉrÉbÊ, IbnSÊnÉ, Ibn Rushd, AbË Miskawayh, and NaÎÊr al-Din ÙËsÊ, devoted a significant segment of theirpolitical and ethical writings to the subject-matter of justice, which theytreated and examined more or less in a similar fashion as the ancient Greekphilosophers, especially Plato and Aristotle, had done. Like them, theydeveloped a rational conception of justice, which is generally viewed asnatural, eternal, and immutable and ethically as the most comprehensive virtue. Muslim theosophers orSufi philosophers, such as al-GhazÉlÊ,Ibn al-‘ArabÊ and MawlÉnÉ RËmÊ, have initially conceived justice in the sameform as the philosophers just-mentioned above and, as will be seen in thisstudy, elaborated it further mainly within the context of metaphysical wisdomthat is eternally implanted by God in the universe. Then later, on the basis oftheir own interpretations of the relevant verses of the Qur’an and theProphetic sayings, they developed their conception of justice.
