Abstract (EN)

Since the beginning of mankind, the concept of justice has always been discussed and people have always tried to make sense out of it. In daily life it is possible to see how God's justice is manifested through various reasons. For example, some people live in Islamic countries while some live in other countries where different kinds of religions are practiced. It might be questioned that God makes positive discrimination against people living in Islamic countries whereas he treats unfairly to those in the non- Islamic countries. These sorts of questions have always been raised by many people. Muslim scholars agree upon God's justice. However, it is seemed that there are some differences in their interpretations when they are examined in detail. In this respect, even if it is the will of God to come into different religious landscapes, God also gives people a sort of freedom of choice through using their mental capacity since people intrinsically know what is good or bad and what is right or wrong. People are greatly affected by the cultural and social environments while they form and develop their belief systems. However, those who are able to maintain their common sense will find the right way thanks to God-given belief and their free will. If God interfered in people's choices, then reward and punishment would be meaningless. God never tyrannizes over people and never puts the blame on people unless he sends a prophet for them.
