Assessing the status of social justice is one of the important requirements of national governance in Iran. One of the common tools in this area is to design "composite indicators”. The composite indices as tools of governance have an effective role in identifying the status quo and designing regulatory interventions to achieve the required status. According to designing composite index with respect to Islamic theoretical foundations, this study assesses the sections of composite index for Iran. Weighting is an important part of methodology constructing composite index, which is mainly based on the perspective of the elite or a theoretical foundation. The method of this study for weighting and assessing is Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy (FAHP). The results of this study show that in 5 sections and three main areas of the composite index, labor market, poverty and education (in the field of economic exchanges), family (in the field of social interactions) and political justice (in the field of political governance) were known as the most influential components in the realization of social justice in Iran.
