In the climate of the Islamic thought, the belief in the perfection of Shariʿa and the capacity of the Islamic teachings for optimal management of the human societies has brought about a belief in self-sufficiency of Shariʿa and no need to any attempt for some movements such as identity neo-Salafism. In the present article, while explaining the view of identity neo-Salafism regarding the status of Shariʿa in establishing justice with a focus on Sayyid Quṭb's thought, we attempt to explore various aspects of the discussion on the relationship between Shariʿa and social justice. In this way, we try to present a vivid picture of the function of jurisprudence and Shariʿa in the sphere of establishing social justice as defined by Islam.}, keywords = {social justice,Neo-Salafism,Sayyid Quṭb,Shariʿa,governmental jurisprudence,Martyr Maṭahhari}, url = {https://jips.isca.ac.ir/article_72281.html}, eprint = {https://jips.isca.ac.ir/article_72281_b9276932591e9d37a187f102c81158c4.pdf} } @article { author = {Izadhi, Sayyid Sajjad}, title = {The Features of Elections in the Religious Democratic System}, journal = {Journal of Islamic Political Studies}, volume = {3}, number = {5}, pages = {38-59}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Islamic Sciences and Culture Academy}, issn = {2676-2943}, eissn = {2676-2943}, doi = {10.22081/jips.2021.72286}, abstract = {Elections as one of the most widespread spheres of political participation are among the methods or tools offered for democratic administration of the society.

Reading his texts for this article shows the conceptual development of defensive jihad in the political thought of Sayyid Qutb. With the transition of contemporary Islamism from a reformist to a revolutionary approach, he removed the concept of jihad from defensive jihad in its narrow sense and used it in its broadest sense. According to the author's view, the conceptual development of defensive jihad has not led to an aggressive jihad based on the idea of takfir, so he cannot be considered the intellectual and spiritual father of Islamic extremism.

The former is the philosophy for the existence of all states, but the latter pertains to the goals defined for them by the political schools and philosophies. These goals range from removing the social sufferings, disadvantages, and discriminations to establishing social justice, observing the mutual rights in a society and fulfilling individual beneficial needs as well as public benefits and achieving felicity. Now, what are the functions of the state in Mulla Sadra's philosophical system? Considering Mulla Sadra's systemic attitude towards the man (descending-ascending to transcendence attitude) and towards the state, it is claimed that the state's functions in Mulla Sadra's political philosophy is realized when the members of the society pass through contrasting stage of individual benefits in the animal orders and the lower ranks towards rational orders and to the stage of the man's flowering and his existential promotion to the state of unity with God.  In this article, the researcher uses content analysis method to prove this claim through an investigation of Mulla Sadra's philosophical system and his political texts. The achievement of this study is to show how the demands of a divine philosophical system is distinguished in the functions of one state with another state, and how we can evaluate and review the function of the Islamic Republic of Iran with an awareness of the function of Mulla Sadra's favorite state.}, keywords = {State,state's function,Mulla Sadra's philosophical system,Mulla Sadra's political philosophy}, url = {https://jips.isca.ac.ir/article_72283.html}, eprint = {https://jips.isca.ac.ir/article_72283_26745d2eda73f649299d9bdc402a41ba.pdf} } @article { author = {AhmadVand, Vali Mohammad and Dalir, Bahram}, title = {Transcendental Politics: the Meeting Point of Parrhesia and the Ideal of Freedom}, journal = {Journal of Islamic Political Studies}, volume = {3}, number = {5}, pages = {121-143}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Islamic Sciences and Culture Academy}, issn = {2676-2943}, eissn = {2676-2943}, doi = {10.22081/jips.2021.72285}, abstract = {The present article presupposes that the philosopher does not restrict himself just to knowing things as they are; rather, rising to do things as they must [be done] is considered the actual continuation of his thought, and that a philosopher is not just aware of the truth, but he stays at it. The article poses the following questions: "what is Mullah Sadra's position as to the truth?" "Is our philosopher – as Foucault expresses under the features of Parrhesia – ready to have the same treatment with truth as Socrates did?" This study deals with Mullah Sadra's  Parrhesia-like actual aspects in confronting with the owners of power and the factors defacing social wisdom. Thus, the study of Mullah Sadra's political-social mission is determined in two lines. First, we deal with Mullah Sadra's Parrhesian mission. Parrhesia means truthfulness without adulation, freedom of speech, frankness and explicit veracity in facing with the king's will or facing the irrational requests of the majority. In the second line, we deal with Mullah Sadra's attempt to enumerate factors defacing the truth in a way that leads to ruin of the social wisdom, an action that can result – by removing the layers of ignorance – in freedom of human's reason from the dominance of factors defacing it. The removal of layers of ignorance has been borrowed from the literature of ideal of freedom in Frankfort school.
