Power, security, and liberty, considered as the objectives of political sovereignty by some scholars, are also incorporated in Naraghi's conception of justice. In his view, political power is a mere instrument for the application of justice, and providing security is a major function of state and can be maintained only in the light of justice. The citizens and members of the Islamic society, too, will benefit from equal social facilities and oportunities only through justice. Thus, justice is the essence of state and elements such as power, security, and liberty become meaningful only in the light of justice.
