Abstract: (166 Views) |
| The topic of divine governance during the occultation period, especially in the last few decades, has attracted the attention of many Muslim scholars, especially Shiites, under various titles, including "Wilayat al-Faqih". The direct impact of this discussion on the fate of Islamic societies on the one hand and the deep disagreement among scholars in various aspects of the discussion on the other, have been the reasons for this matter. The present study is the first step towards finding a Quranic perspective on this issue, which focuses on the topic of "Imamat over society" in verses 65 to 72 of Surah Al-Isra. In addition to proving the necessity of forming a divine government during the occultation period, these verses can also be considered as a model for studying its characteristics. The method of entering the discussion is to pay attention to the connection between the verses of this context, especially the connection between verses 70 and 71. Accordingly, the continuity of Allah's agency over humans is realized through individual imamate within the society, and through this way, Allah safely guides the society through the turbulent scenes of the world and raises it to high levels of grace. In the present study, the method of structural analysis of the verses of the Quran has been used. For this purpose, after examining the three parts of the context in question separately, the verses have been examined by analyzing the aspects of connection and relationship between these parts. |
