Justice is considered one of the most fundamental values upon which societies and civilizations are built. Islam has given this value a high status, making it an essential objective of Sharia and a cornerstone for preserving the five necessities and ensuring the stability of the state and society. The problem addressed in this study lies in the lack of awareness regarding the detailed jurisprudential aspects of justice as derived from the Qur’anic verses and its practical applications in areas such as governance, judiciary, and transactions. Hence, this study aims to present a jurisprudential interpretation of the verses of justice in the Noble Qur’an, extract the related legal rulings, and demonstrate how these rulings are applied in financial dealings, social relations, and other areas. To achieve this, the study employs the inductive method to trace the occurrences and derivations of the word "justice" in the verses of rulings, and the analytical method to understand and examine these verses, gather the related jurisprudential issues, and explain them precisely. The study concludes with several findings, the most notable being that justice is obligatory in all aspects of life, including governance, judiciary, testimony, and financial and social transactions. Establishing justice contributes to societal stability and promotes equality among individuals. The results also highlight the importance of the judge possessing knowledge and scholarly competence, the necessity of ruling justly without relying on personal knowledge, and the need for judges and disputing parties to embody patience and good character. The study recommends enhancing awareness of Qur’anic rulings on justice and incorporating them into legal and Sharia curricula, given their profound role in establishing fairness and societal stability.
