Abstract
Political stability is one of the fundamental pillars of the survival of political systems and a sign of their effectiveness. In the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was founded on the discourse of the Islamic Revolution, justice is not only a fundamental value, but also a vital factor for the legitimacy and continuity of the political order. This research seeks to answer the main question of what role does justice play in achieving political stability in the Islamic Republic of Iran? The main hypothesis of the article is that the realization of justice in various dimensions (governance, legislation, politics, economy, services, geography and security) strengthens social capital, political legitimacy and the stability of the system in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

This article, relying on the theory of social and political justice with an emphasis on the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and using the descriptive-analytical method and documentary and library analysis, examines the concept of justice and its relationship with political stability and explains the indicators of its realization in the Islamic Republic system.

The results of the study show that justice in the discourse of the Islamic Revolution plays a pivotal role in maintaining national security, reducing social gaps, public satisfaction, and confronting political instability. Therefore, justice can be considered a central signifier of the discourse of stability in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
