The subject justice can be traced more than hundred times in Imam’s historic speeches, messages and theological works.
Imam was the first Muslim scholars who have highlighted social, economic and various other perspectives of justice.
According to the founder of the Islamic Republic, in the early days of Islam, the ideal Islamic and justice-based government ruled twice: first at the time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad and secondly when Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon them) governed the Muslim societies and set unprecedented divine patterns.
Justice was so applied that if a citizen from the lowest class of the society took a legal action against the first person in the country, the judge used to summon the leader who would attend the court.
