Abstract

Social Justice and the ways for developing it have been ever and are considered by thinkers and experts. Realization of justice in a society by directing Social Takaful (co-operation) is among ideas which has been presented and described in a new format by Martyr Seyyed Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr. Whatever this research aims to answer and analyze by using the analytic- descriptive method and utilizing the library resources including Martyr al-Sadr’s books is the role of Social Takaful in the development of social justice and the decrement of class difference. The findings of research indicate that Martyr al-Sadr- in addition to persuading the people into cooperation in Takaful as a religious task- has obliged the Islamic governor to supply the Takaful resources such as catching quint (Khums) and alms tax (Zakat) and other resources and also controlling the implementation of Social Takaful so that by making a decision in a juridical free area, an acceptable level of livelihood is provided for the needy peoples and in this way, the poverty decreases and the class difference is minimized.
