Justice is considered the basic norm of human coexistence. Every
legal order refers to the concept of justice, and Muslims also
regard their religious norms (the Sharia) as offering just
solutions to legal questions. But is the assumption that the Sharia
is just merely an acceptance of a status quo correct? And is
justice the necessary aim of the Sharia? In this volume, renowned
scholars discuss these questions from different perspectives. In
principle, the first normative source of Islam, the Qur'an, orders
justice and fair conduct (Rohe). At the same time, an analysis of
the concept of justice in the classical age of Islam (Ahmed and
Poya) also shows that there existed ambivalent understandings of
this concept. The relationship of the idea of justice in Islam to
political questions (Ende), to war (Poya), and to modern reform
(Mir-Hosseini) again confirms the importance of the concept for a
critical reflection on traditional assumptions and existing
circumstances. The discussion on the hijab in Western countries
(Ladwig) shows paradigmatically how justice can regulate the
relationship between the secular state and the Sharia. The essays
in this volume endeavor to show that debates about justice, in
Islam as well, express an underlying tension between the perception
of an order as just on the one hand, and the feeling of injustice
under the same order on the other. This discussion validates the
idea that justice should be understood as a concept subject to a
perpetual reexamination according to changing times and
circumstances.
