The theory of justice in Islam
with Rasim Haxha
Summary
At the jubilee gathering of Prishtina Talks — the fiftieth — hoxhë Rasim Haxha sets out the theory of justice in Islam. Starting from the meaning of justice (adl) in language and in theology — why it stands between two extremes, and why Islam brings it as absolute justice — Haxha divides justice into four relationships: with God, with oneself, with other people, and with the rest of creation.
The presentation ties the meaning of justice to human nature (the fitrah), shows why justice outside the Islamic frame remains partial and relative, and closes with the argument that the rulings of Islam — from acts of worship to economic and social relations — are all expressions of a divine justice that matches the nature of the human being.
Some of the points covered: 📌 What justice (adl) means in language and in Islamic terminology 📌 Why justice in Islam is absolute rather than relative 📌 Justice towards God, and shirk as the greatest injustice 📌 Justice towards oneself, in its two dimensions 📌 Justice towards people: the courts, the family and relationships 📌 Justice towards creation: animals, the environment and responsibility 📌 Islamic law as a fit with human nature
