Examination of the Effects of Justice in Governance in the Thought of the Leaders ofthe Islamic Revolution and Allameh Tabataba'i

Justice is an inherent inclination in humans, esteemed by all schools of thought, with political and educational schools claiming its realization. However, what distinguishes these schools from one another is the interpretation of justice they offer. Imam Khomeini and the Supreme Leader, considering the significance of justice and moderation in the educationof individuals and society, and its role in achieving the ultimate happiness of humans, regard the realization of social justice as one of the most important duties of a religious government. Likewise, Allameh Tabataba'i examined the position of governance in the social approach of Islam and focused on the effects of justice in governance. In this context, the present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, highlights the effects of justice in governance in the thought of the leaders of the revolution and clarifies its alignment with Allameh Tabataba'i's views. In the thought of the leaders of the revolution and Allameh Tabataba'i, justice not only holds a central position in individual education but is also considered a factor for the growth and perfection of society. Social justice is a factor that actualizes the balanced potentialities of society and guides a religious society toward monotheistic education. Therefore, a religious government is obligated to strive for the realization of social justice. The realization of justice in all dimensions of governance results in various outcomes, the most significant of which is the orientation of society towards the realization of social monotheism. Just as an individual must cultivate virtuous qualities such as chastity, courage, and wisdom to progress on the path to perfection, society, in its social dimension, possesses these same virtuous qualities, which manifest through the realization of social justice. A just society inevitably guides its members toward acquiring commendable attributes and avoiding vices.
