in the Islamic Republic of Iran
Emad Afroogh
Human Sciences and
Cultural Studies Research Institute
Abstract
Emphasizing the necessity of the reproduction of legitimacy of a
dominant political system through an active, constant, and
multi-perspectival criticism in the Islamic Republic of Iran, the paper
deals with the relationship between criticism and explanation.
Afterwards, presenting a realistic explanation of the revolution and
its numerous layers, some criteria have been proposed for criticizing
the Islamic Republic of Iran. Then, with respect to the seven criteria
of criticism, there is a discussion over the basics of criticism, and,
finally, three periods of criticism have been identified in the Islamic
Republic of Iran (i.e. intra-discursive, silence and justification,
extra-discursive).
Keywords: criticism, realistic explanation, Islamic Revolution, Sadraian thought,

The foundations of the legitimacy of Wellayat-e Faqih
Seyyed Ali Reza Sadr Hosseini
Tehran University
Abstract
The question that government is a religious foundation or a
secular common one is among the most important questions in the
Islamic political thought. Religiosity of the foundation means that
governments have the right to enforce political power if they only
have the religious legitimacy.
With respect the conditions and requirements of sharia, they are
classified into the ones having the legitimacy and the ones lacking it.
An immaculate person had doubtlessly the right to diving
government and if he is present, no other people have the religious
right to occupy government. In Shiite Fiqh, the political governance
of the immaculate is important because it is the credibility and the
foundation of the government of the non-immaculate and the
domain of the rights of the non-immaculate is determined with
respect to the domain of the governance of the immaculate.
Some of the previous Shiite jurisprudents did not bring into
consideration the occupation of government by the jurisprudents,
despite mentioning many partial Wellayat. The only reason was the
inaccessibility of governments for the Shiite jurisprudents. That is
why the greatest Shiite jurisprudents entered political arena
practically and explained the theoretical foundations of the general
Wellayat of jurisprudents as a social principle.
Keywords: Government, legitimacy, wellayat of the immaculate, Imam, General
wellayat, wellayat-e faqih.
The principle of the Inexistence of Wellayat
Mohammad Soroosh Mahallati
Center for Islamic Government Research
Abstract
Referring repeatedly to the principle of the Inexistence of Wellayat
in Fiqh clarifies the necessity of answering the questions that what
the principle of the Inexistence of Wellayat is and that what
foundation it has. Therefore, after providing explanations for the
different meanings of the principle, the paper tries to explain Wellayat
so it becomes apparent that to what extent the principle of the
Inexistence of Wellayat can be enforced and that how it is compatible
with the necessity of Wellayat. Then, proposing the foundations of
the principle, paper tries to answer the questions that whether
Esteshab (referring to a previous rule at the present time) supports
the principle, or, the Inexistence of the Wellayat of men is a minor
part the Wellayat of Allah, or due to the freedom of other men
Wellayat over other people is nullified.
Keywords: Wellayat, absolute Wellayat, Inexistence of Wellayat, Esteshab,
freedom, unity, government.
Mirza-ye Qumi and the Qajar kings
Ayatollah Reza Ostadi
Seminary School Professor
Abstract
The Shiite ulama behaved with sultans and kings based on
religious motivations, not material or worldly motivations. Ulama,
including Mirza-ye Qumi, supported sultans in order not to replace a
Shiite ruler with an oppressive one, to prevent anarchy, to prevent
deviant thoughts to occupy sultans minds, and finally, to prevent
Shiism to decline. Despite their relationship with kings, the Shiite
ulama maintained their independence, and this relationship did not
make them it issue any religious decree rooted in their own and the
king's wishes. The paper is a sample of the political behavior of
Shiite ulama with sultans and rulers.
Keywords: ulama, Mirza-ye Qumi, 'irshad-nameh, Qajar.
Jurisprudents and tyrannical governments
Seyyed Mohsen Tabataba'ee-far
MA in Political Sciences
Bagher Al-Olum Higher Education Institute
Abstract
The occultation of the Twelfth Imam and the Shiite society's
inaccessibility to the its ideal political system, on the one hand, and
the need for minimally possible organization, facilities, and
opportunities for the Shiites in non-Shiite governments, on the hand,
required the collaboration of the Shiite 'ulama with the existing
governments. Though 'ulama did their best to prove the Imamate
and the occultation of Imam Mahdi (pbuh) during the Lesser
Occultation, with the beginning of the Longer Occultation and the
improvement of 'ulama's status among the Shiites, their
collaboration with the existing governments and the nature of and
reasons behind this collaboration turned to an important issue in
Shiite political thought. This paper studies the collaboration the
extents of the collaboration of 'ulama with sultans.
Keywords: occultation, Shiite political thought, just sultan, tyrannical sultan.

taghiyyeh briefly, personal and socio-political taghiyyeh are
explained. With respect to personal taghiyyeh, there is a discussion
over the obligatory precepts of the types of taghiyyeh based on the
Five precepts, and over the situational precepts. Verses and traditions
concerning political taghiyyeh were brought into consideration in the
case of political taghiyyeh.
Keywords: taghiyyeh, personal taghiyyeh, political taghiyyeh.
The legitimacy and acceptability of Wellayat-e Faqih
from Imam Khomeini's Viewpoint
Ali Akbari Mo'allem
MA in Political Sciences
Bagher Al-Olum Higher Education Institute
Abstract
The appointment and election of Wally-e Faqih, the actualization
of Wellayat, and the legitimacy and acceptability of Wally-e Faqih ,in
general, are among the most important controversies among the
Islamic political groups after the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
To explain the legitimacy and acceptability of Wally-e Faqih from
Imam Khomeini's viewpoint, the paper, first, presents the existing
theories concerning the legitimacy and acceptability of Wally-e Faqih
and discusses over the dependence or independence of legitimacy on
acceptability, and then, evaluates the views of the two political parties
in the Islamic Republic of Iran in this respect. It seems that the
theory maintaining the appointment of Wally-Faqih by Allah (divine
legitimacy) accords to Imam Khomeini's works and acts, though his
emphasis on its acceptability by the people strengthens the idea of the
dependence of legitimacy on acceptability.
Keywords: legitimacy, acceptability, Wellayat-e Faqih, Imam Khomeini, divine
legitimacy, public-divine legitimacy.
Wellayat-e Faqih in the Islamic Wisdom
Dr Ali-Reza Sadra
Tehran University
Abstract
The political concept, Wellayat-e Faqih, is a political discourse,
theory and system. This political theory and discourse is in line with
the political discourse of Shiite Imamate and is legitimated in the
domain of Islam. politics, and leadership in the Islamic political
theory and system. The promotion of political and national efficiency
is, now. the most important challenge in front of the theory and the
political system of Wellayat-e Faqih. The explanation and realization
of material, economic ,social, and modernist instrumental
development concordant with socio-political balance in line with
cultural, spiritual, and moral upgrade of man form its future
perspective. Enquiring into the origin, and political and
philosophical function of Wellayat-e Faqih will be helpful in finding
its foundations especially in the political thoughts of Farabi,
Khaje-Nassir-od-Din Toosi, Mulla Sadra, Allameh Na'ini, and
Imam Khomeini.
Keywords: Wellayat, political sovereignty, political leadership, Faqih, Fiqh,

Wellat-e Faqih and the constitution
Abbas Eezadi Fard
MA in political sciences
Baghir Al-Oloom Higher Education Institute
Abstract
The significance of the constitution and Wellayat-e Faqih in the
Islamic Republic of Iran resulted in the formation of different views
about the powers of Walliy-e Faqih and the constitution. On account
of Faqih's divine Legitimacy, some believe he is above the Law.
Some others give the priority to the constitution, assuming there are
contradictions in the shiite theology or Fiqh about Wellayat-e Faqih
and the constitution. The last group, on the basis of a sociological
perspective, believe that the practice of the holy prophet and the
ten-year experience of Imam Khomeini clearly show that there is no
contradiction in the powers and duties of walliy-e Faqih and the
constitution.
Keywords: Wellayat-e Faqih, constitution, Imam Khomeini.
Welayat-e Faqih from the viewpoint of Ibn-i Fahad Helli
Mostafa Sultani
Center for Religions and Sects Studies
Abstract
The sources dealing with Welayat-e Fiqih consider ١٢th and ١٣th
centuries (AH) as the starting point of the emergence of the
Welayat-e Faqih theory and Mulla Ahmad Naraghi as the founder of
the theory, but, in fact, the theory appeared in the Shiite Fiqh from
the Long Occultation so far. It existed at time of Sheikh Mufid and
was overtly disscussed over in the Shiite Fiqh by Ibn-i Fahad Helli
after whom Mulla Ahmad Naraghi's timly effort revived his
ancestors' heritage. The importance of Ibn-i Fahad Helli's role lies in
the fact that he says the Faqih, acting as a vicegerent of the Hidden
Imam, is permitted to enforce the laws of Islam and that people must
assist him as well. In addition, the Faqih, as a representative of the
Hidden Imam, can collect Khoms and utilize it, and perform the
Friday Prayer.
Keywords: Welayat-e Faqih, political Fiqh, Ibn-i Fahad Helli, Mulla Ahmad
Naraghi, Independent Welat.
The foundations of Wellayat-e Faqih
Najaf Lakza'ee
Bagher Al-Olum Higher Education Institute
Political Sciences Department
Abstract
The basic distinction among the approaches dealing with the
conditions of the legitimacy of political systems lies in their
foundations. The present paper is an attempt to elaborate on the
foundations of the religious-Islamic-Shiite theory of political system
based on the theory of Wellayat-e Faqih. Therefore, ontologically
speaking, the paper examines two types of views of religions and
religious people towards the beginning and end of the universe and
the need for leading and showing the way to man. Humanistically
speaking, the paper tries to analyze the extra-temporal views of the
holly Koran to human being through the extra-temporal
characteristics of man. In this part, it has been explained that men
can acquire new features through their inherent features, and that
man's free will to choose leads him to adopt a religious or
non-religious policy. Afterwards, there is a discussion over
pre-assumptions of political systems in the Islamic teachings.
Keywords: Wellayat-e Faqih, ontology, anthropology, political system in Islam.
