Social justice is one of the basic principles of the Islamic religion that should be implemented in the society and the Islamic city. However, there is an increasing gap between the notion of social justice and the lack of social justice in life in the city. The Islamic city is a marker, indicating a Muslim in the midst of the Islamic society. The Islamic city is a social reality, which the researcher seeks to explain as a component of human action and social institution. Meanwhile, social justice is the most valuable concept in the human community, which is the foundation of the society and its sustainability, in order to achieve development. Therefore, in this paper, social justice criteria based on the Islamic city in terms of method thematic analysis has been researched. The findings from the available sources show that the standards of justice in the Islamic city are broadly based on their pivotal core on monotheistic identity, and the two criteria and the wing of the Islamic framework and order in the Islamic city. These criteria are discussed in the context of the type of housing, the way, the rights of the people, the law and order of the city, the sovereignty of the city, the security and welfare of the city.

The purpose of this study is to provide comprehensive understanding of logic and reason of Islamization of Knowledge (IOK), as an intellectual response from Muslim Scholars to what so called “Modernity Project” in recent decades. Using Meta-Analysis as a method of study, this research systematically has reviewed over 80 scientific documents including articles, books, reviews and etc. in order to come out with a clear picture and understanding of reason and logic of Islmization of Knowledge across the world.Having such understanding and clear picture of reason and logic of IOK, with its main categories, trends and pertinent comparative studies as well as their strength and weaknesses will help and guide Muslim scholars and thinkers in their future studies along the path toward restore their supremacy in knowledge. The result of the study shows that Islamization of knowledge emerged within the context of the perceived crisis of Islamic civilization and concomitant crisis the intellectuals.

This paper is aimed to explore the relationship between the capacities of the Transcendent Philosophy and social consequences of the theory of Fetrat from the perspectives of Allameh Tabatabai and Motahhari. Islamic thinkers have consistently paid attention to the theory of Fetrat (innate disposition). Among the Islamic thinker, the Transcendent Philosophy, by suggesting the idea of Quran-argument-mysticism has made an attempt to strengthen the theory of Fetrat. In particular, Allameh Tabatabai and Motahhari analyzed the mentioned theory, in terms of its both practical and theoretical consequence and the capacities of the Transcendent Philosophy. According to these Islamic thinkers, Fetrat is essentially one aspect of the Mohammadi Truth that the Almighty has vested in the human spirits to create divine conduct. According to Tabatabai and Motahhari, it is because of Fetrat that human beings are eagerly and lovingly inclined to absolute perfection. Human being, due to his/her conversation competency has achieved the highest rank of Fetrat, to the extent that based her/his Fetrat is able to reach the degree of being unified with the Mohammadi Truth. On the other hand, Fetrat has a crucial role in the human being’s mind and practice, since every human and social action is oriented towards eagerness to reach perfections and achievements.

In Islamic discourses, social changes in the Islamic societies have led into various orientations, meanings, and musts. Drawing upon the discourse analysis methods proposed by Laclau and Mouffe, the aim of this paper is to analyze the semantic systems of Islamic subdiscourses including modernist, fundamentalist, and civilization-oriented ones and indicates the myths and necessities each one put forward for social change in the Islamic world. This analysis is based on the existing documents regarding the political topics which have influenced the formation of the mentioned subdiscourses. While Islamic awakening has been articulated as the source and direction of these changes in the three-fold discourses, they introduce different myths and musts to complete social changes. It is due to the fact that these subdiscources have different semantic systems. The findings suggest that the musts commanded by modernist, fundamentalist and civilization-oriented discourses are the realization of “Islamic modernity”, “a return to the Islamic society” which existed during the righteous predecessors (al-Salaf al-Salih) period, and the formation of a “modern Islamic civilization”, respectively. Since none of these discourses have been able to become the hegemonic discourse in the Islamic world, the outlook of social changes is subject to discursive competitions.

The "rule-governed" or "law-governed" nature of the social sphere is a fundamental issue in sociology that has occupied the attention of many classical thinkers, including Weber, Durkheim, and Marx, as well as contemporary theorists such as Habermas, Giddens, and Bhaskar. The positions taken on this dual subject have significant implications for social thought formulation and, consequently, social change. Accepting either of these options portrays the "what" (ontology) of social phenomena in a particular way. Furthermore, it influences sociological epistemology and methodology, as well as topics such as the degree of human agency and the possibilities for social change. Although this discussion has expanded in the existing social science literature through the reflections of German hermeneuticists and historicists, and more recently through the ideas of the later Wittgenstein, particularly Peter Winch's theories, it can also be traced in Iran through the philosophical reflections of Allameh Mohammad Hossein Tabatabai and compared with the existing literature in this field. This article examines some of Allameh Tabatabai's works on the nature of social phenomena. It also identifies Tabatabai's perspective and reasoning system regarding rule-governance and law-governance in the social sphere within the horizon of new sociological debates. The research method used is library study and intra-textual analysis. Tabatabai considers "social matters" as part of "conventionals" and, on this basis, views the social sphere as rule-governed, directing social sciences towards "reason-seeking." However, he does not reduce all subjects and issues of social sciences and sociology to "rule-seeking." He believes that conventionals are rooted in "realities" on one hand, and thus social sciences can examine the real foundations in the formation of social conventionals through a "causal-seeking" method. On the other hand, these conventionals have real effects through a causal mechanism, which can again be causally examined with the help of social sciences. Based on this, Tabatabai presents a simultaneously rule-governed and law-governed image of social sciences, which has also been formulated in the views of some contemporary thinkers.
