The word religion itself contains some aspects that can be regarded as the stages towards attaining ma‘rifatullah, the true knowledge of God. Furthermore, from the Muqaddimah fi Intizam various features can be identified as the characteristic of a just person. Those features were formulated by Raja`‘Ali Haji using key terms that have been highlighted in Gurindam Dua Belas. Furthermore from Thamarat al-Muhimmah, Raja‘Ali Haji’s definition of justice can be identified as a practical concept. Finally, from Tuhfat al-Nafis many cases of the practical concept of justice according to Raja‘Ali Haji can be found. Due to this, a connection emerges between the texts of Gurindam Dua Belas which functions as the core (of his discourse on justice) and Muqaddimah fi Intizam al-Waza’if al-Malik, Thamarat al-Muhimmah and Tuhfat al-Nafis the practical aspect of it. In conclusion, this study reveals that the concept of justice according to Raja‘Ali Haji is indeed a holistic one.
