Abstract

The issue of "divine justice" is one of the important principles of belief that, due to its importance, has found a special place in doctrinal and theological discussions; to the extent that sometimes some Islamic sects have placed it as one of the five principles of religion alongside other principles of belief. The issue of divine justice plays an important role in theology and the knowledge of God and the type of human worldview. In addition, Divine Justice is one of the important foundations for proving resurrection, reward and punishment in the hereafter, and in addition to the ideological and theoretical dimension, it also has educational and practical effects. Therefore, criticizing incorrect interpretations and providing its correct explanation is necessary. The present study and research has examined and criticized Divine justice from the perspective of Hassan Hanafi. The author has collected information using a library method and explored the subject using an analytical-critical method. Among the most important topics discussed are: proving intellectual goodness and ugliness and its perception, the realm of reason and transmission in knowledge and cognition, intellectual obligations, the principle of finality and kindness. Finally, attention is paid to evaluating the Hanafi perspective on these matters.
