as a true value in human societies, and is indispensable for organizing
matters. The welfare of society can only be achieved through justice, that is, every
member of society should be treated as he deserves, within the framework of the
rights and duties, and should be in his rightful place.
Islam entrusted the prophets (peace be upon them) with the task of calling for
and implementing social justice, based on the teachings of the divine religion and
removing all obstacles that prevent it from being established in human society.
This is what the prophets (peace be upon him) worked to achieve in their
societies, including Allah›s Prophet Shuaib (peace be upon him), among his
people Midian, who exposed their society to destruction and torment, because
they did not establish social and economic justice and deviated from the doctrine
of monotheism. Prophet Shuaib (peace be upon him) did this by confronting the
wealth-monopoly and tyrannical economic class of his people, whose refused
to submit to divine teachings, and insisted on disbelief, deception in weight and
balance, and corruption on earth.
