Abstract
Justice, as a fundamental principle in the Islamic social system, plays a pivotal role in fostering solidarity, welfare, and social sustainability. This concept is not merely an ethical value but also an operational mechanism for achieving sustainable development and enhancing the quality of life in Islamic societies. According to Islamic teachings, justice—by securing citizens' rights, reducing discrimination, establishing balance in resource distribution, and strengthening social cohesion—lays the groundwork for achieving social and political security. The findings of this research indicate that a justice-oriented approach significantly contributes to reducing social inequalities, improving the quality of life, increasing the sense of security, stabilizing natural and human resources, strengthening governmental legitimacy, and consolidating social bonds. The primary objective of this study is to examine the social reflections of justice-orientation in urban life from an Islamic perspective and to analyze its effects on shaping a healthy, just, and sustainable society. The present research employs a qualitative content analysis method to examine Quranic verses, narrations (Hadiths), and the conduct of the Infallibles (the Prophet and Imams). Data were collected and analyzed from reliable library sources. The innovation of this study lies in its emphasis on the social consequences of justice in urban life from an Islamic viewpoint and its comparison with contemporary sociological perspectives. The research findings can contribute to offering practical solutions for urban and social policymaking and provide a foundation for future studies in this field.
