Natural law, according to many of western intellectuals, are dominant rules over human and creation, those which are impossible to be interchanged and have created for human happiness. It is leaved, finding them out, up to human. To balance relationships in society, government and statue should be based upon natural law. Justice may be defined as: moderation in affairs, equal opportunities among same people, moderation in mental power, self- controlling over anger, lust and distributing works based on talents. Muslim Intellectuals believe that the whole universe is based upon moderation and every thing is placed in its own position. They all receive their real right and do their own obligation. Justice is the task of performing talents. Every entity accepts different forms. In this case, justice refers to this point that it is the right of every thing to receive perfect, nice, stable and efficient form. Human soul is composed of various faculties. Moderation in various faculties of human soul is called justice. A moderated soul is the scale of justice. It can measure the real value of every entity and place it in its own position. Social balance forms on the bases of natural differences of people, ownership based on work, real social and individual necessities, principle of benevolence, and principle of utmost productivity. Justice is the fundamental of existence, the manifestation of "divinity", putting everything in its own position, and granting him divine gifts according to his talents. It moderates, overlaps and perfect all the entities. Human life would survive and perfect by doing justice. Justice means moderation in tendencies, interests, feelings, inclinations, behavior and human relationship with god and nature. Fair is the one who have moderate spiritual faculty and one of (his or her) instincts or faculties do not overwhelm the other.
