On Islamic Concept of Man and Justice in Pancasila

The issue of being just and justice became one of the hot topics discussed by scholars in the mid-twentieth century, following the independence of the colonized countries. Indonesia, the largest country with Muslim majority that declared independence at that time, dreamed of a just, civilized humanity that would lead to a affluent and prosperous country. This hope is contained in the second and fifth precepts of the Pancasila. After seven decades of independence, the gap between lofty ideals and reality on the ground has widened. This article discusses the word justice in precepts II and justice in precepts V from an Islamic point of view. By using the theory of justice put forward by Islamic scholars, this study explores the relationship between just and civilized humans and social justice in the life of the state in Indonesia. This research is a library research using descriptive analytic method. This research shows that a just human being is someone whose nātiqah soul controls his hayawaniyah soul. Humans with this character then become the agent to realize social justice.
