Shaikh Sa‘dī’s comprehension of justice

Summary/Abstract: Since ancient times, man as a social being has searched for solutions that could lead to the formation of a just society, which would enable the realization of all the potentials that are hiding in every member of community. Given the strong influence of the Holy Book of God – Qur’an on Muslim societies in Persian, Arabic and Turkish speaking area, thinkers at that time strived to reach the correct comprehension of the Qur’anic principles among which justice occupies a special place and thus give their contribution to the formation of a just society. Among these great people a significant place occupies Shaikh Sa‘dī Shirazi (1210-1292) who gained worldwide fame not only by his lyrical gazels, but as an adviser to rulers as well. In his works – especially in Gulistan and Bustan – we find contours of a system of the establishing justice in society, which are presented in this paper.
