The article examines the social role of Islam as one of the world religions in the context of the concept of justice. The length of the article does not allow a detailed study of all the possible functions of Islam; it is limited to the study of some particular aspects of the functions performed by Islam. The article is aimed at analyzing the social role of Islam in the context of justice. The investigation of the functions performed by Islam in relation to public life and human activity requires its understanding from the point of view of justice. In this case, it is necessary to clearly distinguish between the functions of Islam as a specific religion and the functions of organizations representing Islam. Islam is capable of both strengthening relations in a particular society, helping a person overcome life difficulties, and distracting a person from his pressing problems, directing his energy into an illusory channel.
