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.
