This study examines the concept of justice in the Islamic political thought of two influential Muslim figures, Muhammad Imarah (Egypt) and Buya Hamka (Indonesia), and analyzes its relevance to the actualization of the Fifth Principle of Pancasila, "Social Justice for All Indonesian People." Through a comparative-descriptive analysis, it is found that both Imarah and Hamka emphasize justice as a fundamental pillar of the state. Hamka formulated justice within the framework of "Democracy of Piety" which emphasizes power as a mandate, while Imarah focuses on a substantivistic system that emphasizes the manifestation of Islamic moral values in politics and the equitable distribution of wealth. The results of the study indicate that both of these thoughts are significantly relevant to the Fifth Principle, which aims to realize a just, prosperous society, free from oppression, and supported by social security and equal access to justice for all people. The thoughts of these two figures strengthen the philosophical foundation for upholding substantive justice needed in the context of pluralist Indonesia.
