Social Justice In The Islamic Tradition: Righting wrongs, enjoining good, and honoring individual and community rights.
Social justice has been the focus in recent times of Muslim activists and communities. More often than not, the methods and objectives employed in Muslim social justice work have drawn from practices of other communities and traditions not necessarily rooted in Islamic principles.
