World Day of Social Justice is a
great day highlighted in mankind life. Basically, Justice is essential for
human beings same as breath. As the human society is composed of individuals
joining and living together, so a society without justice is intolerable;
because justice is like oxygen for human to live.
Actually, justice has different
interpretations and each individual, group, guild, religion, tradition,
institution, organization, ruler and government has defined justice according
to its own culture and interest, so sometimes it has become meaningless and unbearable.
If there is justice, no one will wish to die, no one will feel reaching the end of life, because the oppressed person always thinks that he has reached the end. Justice means support, it means attention of the strong people to the weak. Justice is absence of oppression by the powerful, it means absence of tyranny by governments. Human being cannot live at all without justice, so he becomes sick or ages prematurely, he will be afflicted with fatal illnesses, will turn mad or take refuge in drugs, and will commit crimes or suicide. Indeed, justice is same as a protecting umbrella to save everybody’s rights. Everyone has rights, as it is also expressed either in the United Nations charter or even in the mankind conscience which is actually acting as the center for justice. It means when anyone is dealing with others, he can judge, before anybody else, whether he is abusing their rights or he is behaving friendly with them.

Justice is a main principle in Islam,
but we observe a lot of violations, rampant arbitrary force along with
discriminations in religious rulings. Therefore, the religious teachings cannot
protect man against injustice.
Where should man seek refuge to
obtain his right? Sometimes church, synagogue, or mosque. But will he obtain
his rights?
Had man obtained justice in such
places, there would not be so much use of tranquilizers and drugs throughout
the world. Because there is not sooth.
Tranquility is possible only when
there is justice.
The law of “survival of
the strongest” which is a jungle law, has been dominant in human
societies. So, based on this law, the stronger and the more powerful is living
better. This stronger has been observed in many different cases, it may be a
cleric in term of religious authority, it can be a ruler in case of government,
or an individual as a member of family, or it may be an officer in
administration, ministry or organization; so, in all of these cases such
injustice is happening. We endeavor, move forward to and wish for a society
without any case of injustice.
