Abstract: (1201 Views) |
Justice is one of the key concepts in regulating individual and social behavior. The Qur'an deals with justice as a behavioral concept. But in the expression of Islamic thoughts, we see that they attribute various understandings of justice to the Qur'an and Islam. Some consider justice as a general concept and consider economic justice as an installment. Some consider justice as a government and some interpret justice as equality in incomes. Different and sometimes conflicting interpretations cannot be the meaning of justice. Also, interpretations contrary to other Qur'anic and religious foundations cannot be the Qur'anic meaning of justice. Based on clear principles in religious interpretations, nothing contrary to the Qur'an can be attributed to religion and Islam. This article tries to provide an analysis on the causes of non-Qur'anic understanding of the concept of justice by looking at the theoretical frameworks and methodology of semantics, and then with the methods of etymology, semantics and comparative analysis the Qur'an to the Qur'an, to analyze and extract the correct concept of justice in the Qur'an and its various dimensions, including the economic aspect of justice in the Qur'an. The main findings of this study show that most of the common errors in semantics have occurred in the perception of justice. Also, Quranic justice means giving and respecting people's rights, and notions such as equal distribution of income, wealth, consumption, and the like cannot be compatible with Quranic justice. Equality of human beings is part of Quranic justice, but equalizing human beings is contrary to Quranic justice. Also, justice in the Qur'an has different dimensions, which include the behavior of ruling, testifying, speaking and giving, and respecting the economic rights of others. |
