Abstract
One of the basic questions in the field of political thought is the issue of the concept, origin and goal of justice. In the foundations of Islamic political thought, justice has a special place as the fundamental and inseparable principle of religious teachings. Imam Ali (a.s.) in spite of the chaotic situation of the time and as one of the models of justice, in the reign of his ruling, he paid the most attention to the realization of justice and its correct implementation with divine and natural interpretations. Therefore, the concept and purpose of justice from Imam Ali (a.s.) point of view can be better understood in the context of a comparative analysis with justice in the policy writing tradition of Nizam al-Mulk. Therefore, the current research is trying to find an answer to this question, what is the difference between justice in the view of Imam Ali (a.s.) and justice in the type of attitude in “Siasatnameh”? So, by collecting qualitative data in the documental way as well as descriptive-analytical case method, justice in the view of Imam Ali (a.s.) is closer to the concept of Justice in the Qur'an and is a type of social justice. Justice is defined in Books of Politics and specifically Siral Muluk Khaja Nizamul Malik with the aim of protecting and supporting the system of power.
