باب هشتم: اندر صفت عدل و سیاست / Chapter 8: On Justice and Statesmanship

The eighth chapter (Baab) of Sanai's Hadiqat al-Haqiqah is titled 'On the Quality of Justice and Statesmanship' (اندر صفت عدل و سیاست). This chapter focuses on the ethical duties of rulers and the spiritual necessity of absolute justice (adl). Sanai argues that a just leader is a shadow of God on earth, and their compassion must extend to all subjects, including animals and the defenseless, as illustrated in the tales of this section.
