Undoubtedly, the mission of the prophets in establishing monotheism (Tawḥīd) revolves around building a monotheistic, justice-oriented civilization. A core element in creating an Islamic civilization and eradicating global oppression lies in initiating a series of transformations in social structures and relationships. Without such changes—whether at the structural or interpersonal level—progress toward a monotheistic, oppression-free society remains unattainable. In Islamic thought, social transformation is rooted in justice. Imam Reza (pbuh), as a religious reformer and infallible leader, navigated a unique position within the court of his contemporary rulers. By analyzing his teachings and narrations through library research and an analytical jurisprudential approach, this study identifies clear indicators of justice-centered transformation in his conduct. From Imam Reza’s (AS) perspective, key indicators of justice include: Intellectual and Epistemic Foundations, Ethical Standards, and Behavioral Practices such as Embodying truthfulness, fulfilling social commitments. When these indicators permeate society, they catalyze an inner transformation in public consciousness, reshaping attitudes and behaviors. This shift lays the groundwork for systemic social change, ultimately advancing the realization of a monotheistic society free from oppression.
