Abstract
The government as a policymaker plays a very significant role in realizing economic goals. When it comes to policy-making, many approaches are taken by governments, but the Islamic state needs to consider a justice-based approach. In the absence of the element of justice, the government is struggling to achieve the supreme goals of the government. But the fundamental question is: what is the role of the Islamic state in relation to the issue of justice? According to the studies conducted in the field of verses, narrations and Nahj al-Balaghah, it is shown that governments have a duty, in their nature and authority, to provide the ground for the development and balance of the society and the just access of everyone to their rights. The Islamic government has broad powers to enforce economic justice. The only firm belief in the implementation of economic justice is the need for the government to succeed in the implementation of economic justice through the broad range of instruments it has. The observance of the law of intercession between the sovereignty and the people is the basis of justice between them.
