Summary/Abstract: The text relates about the fundamental meaning of terms haq (truth), ‘adl (justice) and qist (equity). These are semantically related and complementary Qur’anic terms that constitute the bases of Islamic ethics. All three are tightly related and inseparable since they reflect the Truth and the Justice in a theoretical and normative but also in a practical sense. The author analyses, compares and elaborates upon the modus vivendi of the Islamic righteousness that starts from an individual, through his wife and children and over to his parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, nation and state. The author detects and analyses the threats and obstacles on the path of the Truth, Justice and Equity. Constitutional system and the rule of law provide the outer and institutional framework for the inner principles of faith that are related to justice and equity.
