چکیده:
Based on the monotheistic view of Islam, a specific theory has been drawn regarding the sovereignty and guardianship of the Islamic society, which possesses foundations for the legitimacy of the political system that are distinct from the foundations of legitimacy in non-religious thoughts, and its structure is free from the ambiguities and criticisms leveled against theories presented in Western political thought. In this writing, while conducting a comparative study, competing theories have been considered, criticized, and evaluated. Furthermore, criticisms or ambiguities raised against the Islamic perspective, such as 'the issue of rights and the role of individuals in this theory', 'the issue of the contradiction between public supervision and the righteousness of the supreme authority', and 'the doubt regarding the impossibility of the participation of all individuals in the managerial and specialized pillars of society in a government where the permission to rule is from God—due to the priority and rank precedence of commitment to religious standards and commands in managers and officials over their efficiency and competence'—have been examined so that logical and rational answers can be received and the excellence of Islam's perspective can be made clear.
