'Adalah (Arabic: of the Religion.

) means justice and denotes The Justice of God. It is among the five Shia Principles

The Shias believe that there is intrinsic good or evil in things, and that God commands them to do the good things and shun the evil. They believe that God acts according to a purpose or design, and human reason cannot comprehend this design or purpose in its entirety (though man must always strive to understand as much as he can).

The Sunni School of thought does not consider Justice of God as part of Ul ad-Dn (fundamentals of faith). It subscribes to the view that nothing is good or evil per se, and that what God commanded people to do became good by virtue of his command, and what he forbade became evil.

Sunni Islam (/suni/ or /sni/) is the largest branch of Islam; its adherents are referred to in Arabic as ahl as-sunnah wa l-jamah (Arabic: ), "people of the tradition of Muhammad and the consensus of the Ummah" or ahl as-sunnah (Arabic: ) . For short, in English, they are known as Sunni Muslims, Sunnis, and Sunnites.

Sunni Islam is sometimes referred to as the orthodox version of the religion.[1][2] The word "Sunni" comes from the term Sunnah (Arabic: ), which refers to the sayings and actions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad as recorded in Hadiths.[3]

The primary collections consisting of Kutub al-Sittah accepted by Sunni orthodoxy, in conjunction with the Quran and binding consensus, form the basis of all jurisprudence within Sunni Islam. Laws are derived from these basic sources; in addition, Sunni Islam's juristic schools recognize differing methods to derive verdicts such as analogical reason, consideration of public welfare and juristic discretion.
