Abstract Islamic ethical system with its unique features has special foundations. Imam Reza (AS) believed that the ethical system of Quran is based around monotheism. Extracting and introducing the foundations of Islamic ethics from theoretical point of view and the practical life of Imam Reza (AS) is an asset that can be used to explain the comprehensiveness of Islamic ethical system on the basis of monotheism.
Using Izutsu’s conceptual analysis approach, we research about this important issue. To achieve this goal, four stages have been taken. First, recognizing faith in the view of Imam Reza (AS); second, quoting some sayings of Imam Reza (AS) in which the word “faith” was used and referring scattered symbols to this central concept; third, referring faith to monotheism by using conceptual analysis approach; fourth, in a detailed explanation, the two concepts of "two-dimensional man" and "two-dimensional universe" are identified by examining the identity of man and the world in the view of monotheism, and on the basis of central concept of monotheism, other concepts that can be the basis of morality are introduced in a new classification.

Abstract The nature and the concept of justice is one of the important issues that have been dealt with regarding to God and His acts and also concerning the universe and above all the man and his personal and social actions. There have been made important discussions about justice so far. What have been discussed in this article is studying justice and its nature in the words of Imam Reza (AS). This study has in an analytic-descriptive way propounded this main question: what is the root and the basis of justice in view of Imam Reza (AS)? The secondary questions: Is justice a contract or something genuine and real? How can justice be exercised and fulfilled in individual acts and society?  The thesis is that the basis of justice in view of Imam Reza (AS) is a monotheistic truth and it is identified with the pure reality. So, justice is a reality and noumenal, although it is applied in contract issues, too. The only way to fulfill justice in the individual acts is self-refinement and becoming pious, and realization of justice in the social sphere also depends on the implementation of the laws and commands of Allah and being adhered to in the community.
