THE CONCEPT OF JUSTICE IN ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

Justice holds a central and sacred role in the Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—each presenting a unique theological framework while upholding a shared commitment to fairness, moral order, and divine accountability. This article undertakes a comparative analysis of the concept of justice across these three traditions, exploring scriptural foundations, prophetic teachings, and legal implications. While commonalities include divine justice, moral imperatives, and the demand for social equity, distinctions emerge in interpretative traditions and contextual applications. Through a close textual and theological examination, this study contributes to interfaith understanding and offers insights into how justice shapes religious ethics and societal norms.
