What does the conceptual framework of Islam have to offer us?
Part II of II
...Muslims bring forward the idea of justice as a part of not only this life, but the life to follow. Justice, the idea of fair treatment and due reward in the afterlife, implies being responsible for one’s actions in this life.

What does this idea of justice do for a Causative Force? The idea of fair treatment and due reward in the afterlife suggests that we have a responsibility in this life. It suggests that we all have a responsibility and we must all determine just what that responsibility is. However, since we are all significant, since we all have a responsibility, we must respect each person’s attempt at accomplishing the responsibility each feels they have as individuals.
We have no right to interfere with a person’s journey in this life as long as that journey does not interfere with the journey of others.
Justice will be meted out by a force far greater, both in power and understanding, than ourselves. Justice will not be denied. Justice will be enforced in the life beyond this one. This whole concept of justice being a part of the afterlife releases us of the socially time-consuming burden involving agonizing over the just sentencing in a transgression. It would cause us to look at how to rectify the situation and how to prevent its happening to anyone in society again.
