The present study aims to explain the relationship between monotheism and ethics in the intellectual system of martyr Dr. Seyyed Mohammad Beheshti, seeking to reconstruct an ethical system based on the divine nature of man. The central issue is the question of how monotheistic ethics functions as an internal mechanism for the formation of civilizational perceptual justice. Using the method of causal-evolutionary reconstruction analysis, the article extracted data from the original works of Shahid Beheshti and then analyzed its study at two levels regarding the positive and negative points with the Shiite tradition and Western moral philosophy in their original sources. The results show that in Beheshti's thought, justice is not the product of social contract or class conflict, but rather the consequence of the flowering of divine nature in the interdependence and mutual responsibility of humans. The theoretical innovation of the article, in addition to the fact that no research has been conducted in the field of such a concept of ethics in Shahid Beheshti's thought, is in reconstructing the "functional model of monotheistic ethics" in which monotheism, as the origin and end, explains the causal connection between nature, will, and justice. This model, while not following the common path in previous research (jurisprudential-legal and mystical-behavioral), introduces "monotheistic ethics" as an epistemological and institutional framework for shaping the monotheistic structure. The final result shows that when perceptual nature and divine will become more institutionalized in human behavior, freedom and justice in society also deepen. This process is the objective manifestation of monotheistic ethics in the life of society and the basis for the formation of monotheistic civilization.
