In Islamic jurisprudence

Adl, as used by early theorists of Islamic jurisprudence, referred to an aspect of an individual's character.Abu al-Hassan al-Mawardi, transl. by Wafaa H. Wahba. ''The Ordinances of Government''. Garnet Publishing Limited, 2000. This aspect is best translated as probity. Although Adl, as used by many religious scholars today, is loosely used as meaning solely justice, one must look more closely at how and why religious scholars choose to use this word. In a hadith, Islamic prophet Muhammad said that, the meaning of '' wasat'' (moderation) is adl (justice).


In Islamic theology

Adl is another word for divine justice in Islam. The conception of this term varies between Shias and Sunnis. For Shias, divine justice is one of the Usul ad-Din. Shias tend to believe that God is rationally just, that men inherently know the difference between good and evil, and that we have complete free will. Sunnis, in contrast, believe that God is necessarily just, that revelation, the Qur'an, is the only way to know good and evil, and that men are afforded some volition within predestination.
