Abstract
Due to the arrival of religion in various aspects of human life, the full implementation of the laws and regulations of religion and the achievement of its goals is not possible except by establishing a religion based on religion.
In this article, we will analyze the jurisprudential foundations of the formation of government in various Islamic religions from the point of view of reason. What is considered as wisdom is the jurisprudential foundations of the approximation of Islamic religions and the word of Allah (as the complete intellect) in the Holy Qur'an.
Sunni school principles of the Quartet of (a salt solution and marriage, succession by Caliph now, angry and overcome salinity by Khalifa ex to select a new ruler) to select the ruling highlighted, the principles discussed above, allegiance is completed Among the three trends of contemporary political thought, Shiite jurisprudence identified two patterns (the jurisprudential theory and the theory of the lawyers of individual personal owners) for choosing a ruler.
The need for the approximation of Islamic religions is a reaction to obstacles that are in conflict with the institution of reason. The acceptance of the rule based on "victory and conquest" and "the choice of successor by the present caliph" in Islamic societies is a kind of direct struggle with the institution of reason.
