ABSTRACT
Justice as a generalized worldview and social justice as a particular element of the universal domain of justice are defined in the context of the Primal Ontological Law of Tawhid, (monotheism). The definitions are taken up in terms of the precepts of universality and uniqueness of the episteme of the unity of knowledge (consilience). In contrast to the shari’ah an enumerative attempt to explain social justice and hardly anything of justice as balance and moderation in terms of the evolutionary learning multiverse, the Tawhidi construct is shown to be singularly different, precise and analytical in such a worldview. From such an analytical approach to definition, subtle meanings can be derived for the less analytically prepared reader and for policy-theoretic use. This study is also a comparative one with Occidental theories of justice. The groundwork of Tawhidi methodology is used to launch the contrasting viewpoint and present its own methodological worldview by which the true Islamic definition of justice and social justice is done.. This contrasts with the many ways that have been tried by Muslim scholars and the Occidental worldview, yet only to provide an imprecise definition to the precept of justice and social justice.
