The Meaning of the Terms Adl and Haqq in the Quran: A Semantic Review of the Arabic Language and Its Implications for the Concept of Justice in Islamic Law

Abstract

This research aims to explain the meaning of the terms adl and haqq in the Quran through an Arabic semantic approach and describe their implications for the concept of justice in Islamic law. The study was carried out through a literature study that combines linguistic analysis, classical interpretation of mufasir, and the findings of modern Arabic linguists. The results of the study show that adl contains the meaning of balance, straightness, and equal treatment, while haqq contains the meaning of divine truth and rights that must be upheld in social life. These two terms form the moral, spiritual, and legal foundation in Islamic law, so understanding their semantic meaning is very important to strengthen the construction of sharia justice. This research emphasizes that adl and haqq are two concepts that complement each other in forming an Islamic legal system that is oriented towards truth and benefit.
