How the reciprocal rights and responsibilities of citizens and the government are one of the most essential topics in the social sciences and politics, particularly in contemporary societies. Parallel to the transformation of political and social structures in societies and the emergence of the modern government, the concept of citizenship and the role of the citizen as one of the most crucial social elements in the modern society, as well as the political and social rights and reciprocal responsibilities of the government and citizens, became the focus of social scientists and political philosophers. In this regard, we will analyze the issue of citizenship from the perspectives of Alasdair MacIntyre and John Rawls as representatives of the two approaches, collectivism and liberalism, and compare Farabi's views to these. Farabi's formulation of relations draws people from Medina with the concept of “Ahal al-Madina.” The comparative study of the terms “citizenship” and “citizen” allows for a more accurate comprehension of the relationships between individuals in civil life. In this study, a descriptive, analytic, and comparative investigation of the fundamental components of the concept of citizenship and its related dimensions in the thought of Farabi, Alasdair MacIntyre, and John Rawls has been undertaken. The findings of this study indicate that Rawls and McIntyre have profoundly different views on the framework of the concept of citizenship. However, in certain aspects, such as the priority of the public good over individual rights and interests, Farabi’s and McIntyre’s ideas are similar and closely related.

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.
