In examining verses that emphasize justice, one can derive implicit connections to the anticipated return of the Mahdi (a). The world looks forward to a leader who will restore equity, eradicating tyranny and oppression:

• Surah An-Nisa (4:135): “O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses in justice, for the sake of Allah.” This verse illustrates the centrality of justice, resonating with the Mahdi’s objective to restore true justice throughout the earth.
• Surah Al-Hadid (57:25): “And We sent Our messengers with clear signs and sent down with them the Scripture and the scale that the people may maintain [thereby] justice.” The Mahdi (a), as a divinely appointed leader, will embody these principles, serving as a vessel for implementing divine justice.
