Abstract
Justice is one of the oldest thoughts that has always been the focus of humankind's reflections and concerns throughout history. This ethical and social virtue, with its privileged position among other concepts, has been the basis of many other principles that nothing can prevent it or can be considered a priority over it. Thus, the credibility and stability of every society depends on the extent of its comprehensive expansion. This principle has been mentioned in various verses either as an introduction to achieve high goals or as a goal in itself, so that without the provision and realization of this important ideal it is impossible to imagine religion. The Qur'an has always considered the inextricable relation of this important principle along with right and freedom. Right as a crucial criterion of justice and freedom provides the context for its expansion. Making the system work in the form that the prophets have pursued is one of the essential functions of social justice and the most important context for its realization is the internal reform and obligation of the community, which in turn will lead to structural reforms based on justice. The main objective of this study is to examine the role of this important principle in community reform, its relation to other concepts and the contexts for its realization from the Qur'an's point of view, which has been discussed through focusing on library studies, and by using documentary research, the necessary data has been extracted, analyzed, described and interpreted.
