The concept of justice is one of the central themes in Islamic political philosophy and constitutes a foundational pillar of Shiʿi thought. It is also a key element in the worldview and tradition of Hekmat-e Iran-Shahri (the Iranian-Kingship wisdom). Considering the significant place of justice in the political thought of Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS), particularly as reflected in the teachings of Nahj al-Balagha, as well as in Nizam al-Mulk’s Siyasat-nama as an Iran-Shahri interpretation of justice, this article seeks to address the following question: To what extent and in what ways does the concept of justice in Nahj al-Balagha correspond to or diverge from the ancient Iran-Shahri understanding of justice in terms of influence and substance?Accordingly, justice is examined through four dimensions: essence, origin, purpose, and conceptual meaning. The findings indicate that the notion of justice in the thought of Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS), grounded in the teachings of Nahj al-Balagha, is intrinsically linked to the Qur’anic concept of qist, which denotes social justice. In contrast, in Nizam al-Mulk’s Siyasat-nama, justice is primarily defined with the purpose of safeguarding and preserving the structure of political authority.
