The Constitutional Revolution of Iran was not only a fundamental transformation in the contemporary political and social history of Iran but also a profound reflection of the two popular ideals of justice-seeking and legalism. Employing a qualitative thematic analysis method, this research examines the interpretation and reflection of these two concepts in the work "The History of the Iranian Awakening" by Nazem-ol-Eslam Kermani. The research data were collected and extracted through a precise and systematic reading of the aforementioned text. The findings indicate that Nazem-ol-Eslam considered justice-seeking not only as the driving force behind the Constitutional Movement and a natural reaction to Qajar oppression but also as a comprehensive social demand. In contrast, he introduced legalism as the necessary framework for the sustainable realization of justice and the establishment of a modern political system based on national sovereignty. His perspective, shaped by his intellectual background—particularly his religious beliefs and lived experience of the Constitutional events—led him to legitimize these principles not merely from a political standpoint but also within an ethical and religious framework. A comparison of Nazem-ol-Eslam's thought with that of his contemporaries reveals that, while sharing the overarching ideals, he possessed a unique approach characterized by the integration of modern rationality and an emphasis on the role of the people as agents of change. By focusing on Nazem-ol-Eslam's narrative, this study demonstrates how justice-seeking and legalism, as the central pillars of his thought, are manifested in his analysis of the Constitutional Revolution in his texts, and how these ideas hold a distinct position compared to other approaches of his era.

Theories of justice in contemporary Islamic political thought—particularly among Shiʿi scholars—remain relatively underdeveloped. Much of the existing literature either reiterates classical formulations or seeks to reconcile Islamic teachings with dominant Western theories of justice. Mohammad-Reza Hakimi, however, advances a distinctive approach by mobilizing religious and normative vocabulary in the service of social justice, grounded in the cultural and socio-historical context of Iranian society. Drawing on John Searle’s theory of speech acts, this article examines the assertive, directive, and perlocutionary dimensions embedded in Hakimi’s normative language of justice. Methodologically, the study employs qualitative content analysis of Hakimi’s theological and socio-intellectual writings in order to trace how concepts such as justice, tawḥīd (monotheism), and human dignity are transformed into mobilizing elements of discourse. The findings demonstrate that Hakimi articulates his vision of justice through a conscious distancing from both conservative religious interpretations and capitalist social relations, thereby positioning social justice at the center of his intellectual project. Normative concepts such as enjoining good and forbidding wrong (amr bi’l-maʿrūf wa nahy ʿan al-munkar), divine justice (ʿadl-i ilāhī), and tawḥīd provide the linguistic and conceptual foundations for linking faith to active social engagement aimed at eradicating poverty and oppression. By situating Hakimi’s thought within Islamic intellectual traditions and contemporary socio-political challenges, this article highlights his contribution to a renewed conception of Islamic social justice and underscores the significance of linguistic analysis for bridging theology and social praxis.

The most important feature of the present age is the development of intercultural communication along with intercultural and intercultural communication. The increasing development of communication technologies has provided the grounds for the tightening of communication and the thinning of geographical borders, and has brought people from all over the world closer together in such a way that communication with people from different cultures has become inevitable. This has led to many issues; among other things, does communication with people who may be culturally different from us (Muslims) require adherence to specific normative frameworks? The present study, with the aim of achieving this issue and using a descriptive-analytical method, examined the thoughts of Ayatollah Khamenei and concluded that at least four principles, including invitation, justice, maintaining independence and dignity, and relying on commonalities in intercultural communication which can be used as a guide to communicate with others.

Therefore, in this research, the question is answered descriptively-analytically from what dimensions can justice be read in Khaghani's poems?

In the political dimension, justice is one of the most important factors in the stability of the monarchy structure, which is compatible with the political thought of urban Iran; According to this theory, one of the most important features of sovereign idealistic in the court and the gift of the Iraqi Khaghani is the protection of justice. In Divine Justice, Khaghani has used the meaning of justice in the world with the concept of balance and equilibrium in the creation of the world. In addition to praising Mamdouh, he also pointed to its theological meaning from the point of view of the Ash'arites. In the religious dimension, he considers justice as the key to the eighth degree of paradise and God's trust. In his view, religion finds meaning with justice, and justice in a society is a sign of the religiosity that governs that society.

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.

An Iranian Muslim scientist and philosopher named Abu Reyhan-e-Biruni, is one of the most important and impressive thinkers during the 4th century of the Islamic history. This essay seeks to understand Bironi’s approach to justice. Therefore, there is an attempt to address three questions about the issue; first definition of justice according to Biruni, second, the way of distinguishing justice, and third, the process of institutionalizing justice in society. In doing so, three books written by Biruni named “Fi Tahghigh Malolhend”, “Asaar-o-lbaghiyah An Ghoroun-e-lkhaliyah” and “Aljamaher Fi Marefatel Javaher” were focused on, in order to his views on justice be perceived. After investigating the existing relevant data, we found that Biruni believes that justice is analogous to the concept of appropriateness. According to Biruni, in order to recognize justice in society, one needs to consider cultural and social values in society. In addition, Biruni believes that justice is not stable in society, thus a righteous king must protect it.

The most powerful apparatus of implementation of justice, the utopian ideal of human being, is political system. The importance of this issue is to the extent that the implementation of justice is possible in its various aspects, in the shade of just policy and just rulers. Among Muslim thinkers, Allameh Sadr with his ingenuity, subtlety and nobility of many new ideas, believes that there is a close relationship between justice and policy, especially considering the implementation of justice. A review of his theory can illuminate the issue of justice in society. So, our main question here is: what kind of relationship between justice and political system Allameh Sadr has explored? We used an internal logic method to find out the mentioned relationship. In sum, according to Allameh Sadr, man is responsible for his own destiny and it is within this framework that justice can be materialized and continued. Political system supports justice through just laws, implementation, control, public participation, “public Takafol” and social balance.
