According to the author, Islam emphasizes justice and the vindication of rights. It not only respects the right to seek justice but also makes it obligatory ([[Quran 2:279]]). The establishment of competent courts, ensuring everyone's access to a just judicial system, and the right to have a lawyer are fundamental principles for preserving this right. The presumption of innocence and the prohibition of coercion in testimony, confession, and oath are other Islamic principles. In the view of the Quran and Islam, education and upbringing are among the lofty goals of the prophets and an indispensable necessity for human growth. Therefore, the state is obliged to provide free education and to expand opportunities for higher education to the point of national self-sufficiency. Amid Zanjani believes that in cases where a person loses the ability to work (such as disability, illness, and major accidents), the Islamic state is obligated to support them from public revenues and revenues derived from people's participation (pp. 428-431). | According to the author, Islam emphasizes justice and the vindication of rights.
