Justice is both a desired social attribute and a moral virtue of human character. Since the idea of justice is central to all ethical systems, Islamic ethics likewise rests on it. The Islamic code of human relations places a strong focus on maintaining respect for one another and promotes polite behavior. Despite what some people think, the first Islamic state was established under the protection of a social compact known as the Medina Constitution (Mithaq-i-Madinah), not under the shadow of swords. The most essential element of the Medina Constitution is the creation of an Islamic Free State founded on a social agreement. Hundreds of years before the theory of social contract acquired popular acceptance, especially in the West, the Medinan Constitution delivered social contract in real time, in real space, to real people through a real agreement. The Medinan Constitution is similarly noteworthy for its enduring impact on normative construction of a pluralistic community. More than thirteen hundred years before the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) envisioned a modern pluralistic, religiously tolerant free state, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself founded this unprecedented free state, the first of its kind in the intellectual and political history of human civilization, in the Gregorian year 622. This essay aims to offer a descriptive and analytical viewpoint on the social justice system founded by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in the Medinan State's pluralistic society.
